RECYCLE
2)
2) A wet solid containing 70% water is mixed with recycled dry solid to reduce the
water content to 50% before being admitted into the granulator. The solid leaving
the granulator is fed to a drier where it is brought into contact with dry air initially
containing 0.25% water by weight. In the drier, the air picks up moisture and
leaves with a moisture content of 5%. The solids leaving the drier contain 20%
water. A portion of this solid is recycled. For 1000 kg/h of wet solid sent to the
granulator as fresh feed, determine
A) The amount of solid recycled
B) The circulation rate of air in the drier on a dry basis
