Mass Transfer
Relative volatility varies with the concentration of component for an ideal solution. The relative volatity of a binary mixture may be defined as the ratio of vapor pressure of component 'A' to that of component 'B', when
Only liquid phase obeys Dalton's law
Vapor phase obeys Dalton's law and liquid phase obeys Raoult's law
Liquid phase obeys Dalton's law and vapor phase obeys Raoult's law
Rotary dryer is suitable for drying sticky material
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%
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.
Recommended peripherial speed of a rotary drier is in the range of 10 to 30 metres/minute
