A liquid mixture contains 30% o-xylene, 60% p-xylene and 10%. m-xylene (all percentages in w/w). Which of the following statements would be true in respect of this mixture?
The mixture exhibits an azeotrope at 101.3 kPa
The mixture contain optical isomers
The composition of the mixture, in percent by volume is: o-xylene 30, p-xylene 60. and m-xylene 10
The composition of the mixture in mole percent is: o-xylene 30, p-xylene 60 and m-xyoene 10
Flights (located in the inside shell of rotary dryer) lift the material being dried and shower it down through the current of hot air/gases. It extends from the wall to a distance which is about 8-12%
Recommended peripherial speed of a rotary drier is in the range of 10 to 30 metres/minute
Rotary dryer is suitable for drying sticky material
Hold up of a rotary drier is defined as the fraction of the dryer volume occupied by the solid at any instant. The best performance for rotary drier is obtained, when the hold up is in the range of 0.
