Question
1. A fan connected to a grain dryer will move 12,500 cfm of air. The dryer system has a heater that will heat
ambient air to 104° F. Ambient conditions are 60°F, 20% RH, and Patm = 14.7 psia. Determine the following:
1. Volume flow rate (Q) of heated air
2. Q of moist air leaving the dryer (Assume 92% RH) (cfm)
3. Quantity of sensible heat added to the ambient air (Btu/hr)
4. Relative humidity of heated air (entering the dryer).
5. Cost of heating air using a natural gas burner @ $7.50/MCF. Note that an MCF is 1,000 ft³. Assume a
heating value for natural gas of 1050 Btu/ft³. Assume 35% efficiency when heating with natural gas.
2. Rework Problem 1 for ambient conditions of 50°F, 55% RH, and Patm = 13.5 psia.
