A drier takes in wet timber (20 wgt% water the rest is dry matter) and reduces the water content to 8.6 wgt% water. The wet lumber is fed to the drier at a rate of 1000 kg/hr. Drying occurs by evaporating the water and you may assume that only water is removed.

a. Sketch a diagram of the process and assign variables to the three streams. ( A รขย€ย“ wet lumber, B- Dry lumber, and C- water removed)

b. What is the total mass of water removed?

Drying of Cassava (Tapioca) Root. Tapioca flour is usedin many countries for bread and similar products. The flour is madeby drying coarse granules of the cassava root containing 66 wt %moisture to 5% moisture and then grinding to produce a flour. Howmany kg of granules must be dried and how much water removed toproduce 5000 kg/h of flour?
