    Assignment 2 (Take Home) Maximum Marks: 15
    Submission Deadline: 07.11.2020

    Name: ID No.: Section:


    • Coverage: Chapter 24, 25
    • Please submit scanned copy of your handwritten assignment in A4 - size papers before 07.11.2020.
    • For late submissions 5 mark per day will be deducted.
    • Please use only graph paper (if required), you can use MS excel to verify the solution.
    • Start each question on separate sheet.

    If necessary make and justify assumptions and data that is required to perform the calculations.

    Q.1 A granular wet solid is taken on a tray (1 m×0.6 m) and dried in a stream of hot air (120°C; humidity
    = 0.02 kg per kg dry air; velocity = 4.5 m/s). The flow of hot air is perpendicular to the face of the
    wet solid on the tray. The initial moisture content of 28% (dry basis) is to be reduced to 0.5%.
    From laboratory tests it is known that the critical moisture content is 12% and the equilibrium
    moisture is negligible. The falling rate of drying is linear in the moisture content. If the solid loading
    (dry basis) is 35 kg/m2, calculate the total (constant and falling rate) drying time. Assume that the
    air flow is ‘large’ and its temperature drop across the tray is ‘small’.

    Q.2 A batch of wet solid whose drying-rate curve is represented by figure is to be dried from a free
    moisture content of X1 = 0.38 kg H2O/kg dry solid to X2 = 0.04 kg H2O/kg dry solid. The weight of
    the dry solid is 399 kg dry solid and area is 18.58 m2 of top drying surface. Calculate the time for
    drying. Comment on your results.

    Q.3 Equilibrium isotherm data for adsorption of glucose from an aqueous solution to activate alumina
    is published as follows:

    C (g solute /cm3 of solution) 0.0040 0.0087 0.019 0.027 0.094 0.195


    g solute 0.026 0.053 0.075 0.082 0.123 0.129
    W( )
    g alumina

    a) Fit the data to Langmuir isotherm and determine the constants of the equation.
    b) Fit the Freundlich isotherm and determine the constants. Comment on the results.

    c) An aqueous solution having a volume of 2.5 cm3 contains 0.25 g glucose /cm3 of solution. This
    solution is mixed thoroughly in a batch process with 3.0 g of granular activated carbon until
    equilibrium is reached. Using the Langmuir isotherm from the above data, determine the final
    equilibrium values and the percent of glucose extracted from the solution.

    Q.4 The following data were obtained in a BET apparatus for adsorption equilibrium of N2 on silica
    gel at −195.8 ℃. Estimate the specific surface area (Sg) in m2/g of silica gel.

    N2 Partial Pressure, torr Volume of N2 Adsorbed in cm3

    24.8 12.7

    430 27.7
    505 33.5

    Q.5 A waste stream of alcohol vapour in air from a process was adsorbed by activated carbon particles
    in a packed bed having a diameter of 4 cm and length of 14 cm containing 80 grams of carbon.
    The inlet gas stream having a concentration (C0) of 600 ppm and a density of 0.00115 g/cm3
    entered the bed at a flow rate of 750 cm3/s. Breakthrough data is given the table. The break-point
    concentration is set at C/C0 = 0.01.

    (a) Determine the break-point time, the fraction of total capacity used up to the break point, and
    the length of the unused bed. Also determine the saturation loading capacity of the carbon.
    (b) If the break-point time required for a new column is 6.0 h, what is the new total length of the
    column required?
