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.
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
The distribution curve which is a plot between x (acetone concentration in one phase) and y (acetone concentration in other phase) is analogous to x-y curve used in distillation and absorption termina
Both the phases become identical at a particular common point on both the solubility curves called the plait point
All of these
As the acetone concentration increases, the solubility curves approach each other
