1. The document describes drying 1400 kg of granular solid from a moisture content of 0.2 kg/kg dry solid to 0.02 kg/kg dry solid. 2. The drying rate is provided for different moisture contents. 3. The time required to dry the material is calculated based on the initial and final moisture contents, material area, and drying rates. The calculation involves determining times for constant and falling rate periods. 4. The total time calculated to dry the material is 2.52 hours.

1400 kg (bone dry) of granular solid is to be dried under constant drying conditions
from a moisture content 0.2 kg/kg of dry solid to a final moisture content 0.02 kg/kg dry
solid. The material has an effective area of 0.0615 m 2/kg. Under the same conditions the
following drying rates were observed. Calculate the time required for drying.
Moisture content 0.3 0.2 0.14 0.096 0.05 0.048 0.026 0.016
