KNOWN: Configuration of grain dryer. Emissivities of grain bed and heater surface. Temperature of grain. FIND: (a)Temperature of heater required for specified drying rate, (b) Convection mass transfer coefficient required to sustain evaporation, (c) Validity of assuming negligible convection heat transfer. SCHEMATIC:
ASSUMPTIONS: (1) Diffuse/gray surfaces, (2) Oven wall is a reradiating surface, (3) Negligible convection heat transfer, (4) Applicability of heat/mass transfer analogy, (5) Air is dry. PROPERTIES: Table A-6, saturated water (T = 330 K): vg = 8.82 m /kg, hfg = 2.366 10 J/kg. 3 -6 2 Table A-4, air (assume T 300 K): = 1.614 kg/m , cp = 1007 J/kgK, = 22.5 10 m /s. Table -4 2 A-8, H2O(v) air (T = 298 K): DAB = 0.26 10 m /s. ANALYSIS: (a) Neglecting convection, the energy required for evaporation must be supplied by net radiation transfer from the heater plate to the grain bed. Hence,
