In the commercial production of sugar (sucrose), the product crystals are washed and centrifuged to partial dryness. the crystals are then sent through a rotary dryer where they are contacted with a hot stream of air that reduces the moisture content from 1: 0wt% to 0: 1wt%. the ratio of wet sugar to inlet air fed to the dryer is 3.3 kg wet sugar/kg inlet air. the inlet air contains 1.5 mole% water. (a) draw and label the flowchart and do the degree-of-freedom analysis. (b) taking a basis of 100 kg of wet sugar fed to the dryer, calculate the mass of water and its mole er fraction in the air leaving the dryer

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature
