- 3 A continuous countercurrent adiabatic rotary drier is being designed for the production of 500 lb/h of a product containing 2% moisture from wet crystal containing 30% moisture, wet basis. The air entering the drier will have a dry-bulb temperature of 230°F and a wet-bulb temperature of 102°F. The air leaving the drier will be at a temperature of 115°F. Because of the small size of the crystals, the highest allowable air velocity is 10 lb dry air/ft2-min of drier cross section. Find: a. Dry air required (lb/min) b. Cross-sectional area of the drier c.
