Drying Furnace Experiment September 23,1998 Engineering 435 By Michael McGann & Michael Hobbs
2
Outline Introduction Background and Theory Procedure Results Conclusions Summary
3
Introduction Drying furnace experiment H 2 O added to dry sand Cake pan placed in furnace Determined drying rate(g/min) Determined flux(g/min/cm 2 ) Raw data produced drying curves
4
Background and Theory Heat in Dry air in Moist air out Drying Furnace Schematic
5
Background and Theory(cont.) Pan Location Schematic Pan 3 Pan 4Pan 1 Pan 7Pan 2 Pan 6 Pan 8Pan 5
6
Background and Theory(cont.) Heat transfer principles Mass transfer principles Electronic data acquisition Drying furnace systems in McCabe,Smith, & Harriot
7
Procedure Measured Dry sand and H 2 O Placed in drying furnace for duration of time Raw data acquired from strain gage electronically End time, measured weight
8
Results Linear drying rate in region observed Results on Table1 Strain gage conversion on Table 2 Figure 1, Strain gage conversion curve Figure2, Drying History/Drying Rate Curve

Total Moisture Content Drying Rate
14
Conclusions Electronic data confidence level at 95% Drying rates concurred with theory Short drying time limited information Different drying rates at different locales Air flow uneven throughout dryer
15
Summary Constant-rate period observed Short drying times limited observations Different samples dried at different rates due to location within dryer.
