Question
Estimate the amount of energy required to dry 1000 kg of long grain, non -parboiled rough rice from 20% moisture content to 14% moisture content.Please use rice drying temperature of T=50 degree celcius
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The initial moisture content of rice = 20%

Final moisture content of rice = 14%

Mass of long grains m = 1000 kg.

 

Step 2

Initial Mass of water in rice, 

mw1=1000×20100mw1=200 kg.

Final Mass of water in rice,

mw2=1000×14100mw2=140 kg
