Powdered milk is produced in a spray dryer
6.0min diameter by
6.0mhigh. Air enters at
167\deg Cand
-50.0cmH_(2)O(gauge). The milk fed to the atomizer contains
67.0%water by mass, all of which evaporates. The outlet gas contains 12.00 mole% water and leaves the chamber at
89.0\deg Cand
1atm(absolute) at a rate of
323(m^(3))/(m)in. Calculate the production rate of dried milk and the volumetric flow rate of the inlet air. Estimate the upward velocity of air (
(m)/(s)) at the bottom of the dryer.
