    SIMPLE DISTILLATION

    Aim:To verify Rayleighs equation for the given binary system.

    Apparatus required:

    Simple distillation setup, measuring jar, specific gravity bottle and beaker.

    Theory:In simple distillation, a batch of liquid is charged to a kettle or flask fitted ith some

    sort of heating device. the charge is boiled sloly and the vapors are ithdran as rapidlyas they form in a condenser here they are liquefied and the distillate collected in the

    receiver the vapor leaving the flask at any time is in equilibrium ith the liquid in the flask,but since the vapor is richer in the more volatile component , the composition of liquid and

    vapor are not constant .the first portion of the distillate ill be the richest in the more

    volatile component and as distillation proceeds ,the vapori!ed product become leaner, thedistillate can therefore be collected in several separate batches to give a series of distilled

    product of various purity.

    T*EO&)

    Some liquid K'K is taken in a diffusivity cell. The concentration of liquid vapour just

    above liquid surface is the vapour pressure of the liquid. If a stream of air is being dran

    along the top edge of the cell, the concentration of liquid vapours there is determined by the

    amount of liquid vapour present in atmospheric air. The diffusion that occurs in this case is

    diffusion of acetone ('$ through stagnant air ()$. Since the height of the liquid in the cell is

    not maintained constant, a Hseudo Steady State diffusion model may be used.

    T*EO&)

    In many cases, drying of materials is the final operation in the manufacturing

    process, carried out immediately prior to packaging or dispatch. 6rying refers to the final

    removal of ater, and the operation often follos evaporation, filtration or crystalli!ation.

    6rying is carried out for one or more of the folloing reason"

    #. To reduce the cost of transport

    %. To make a material more suitable for handling

    -. To provide definite properties

    /. To remove moisture this may otherise lead to corrosion.

    6rying of solids is considered to occur in to stages, a constant rate period folloed

    by a falling rate period. In the constant rate period, the rate of drying corresponds to the

    removal of ater from the surface of the solid. The falling rate period corresponds to the

    removal of ater from the interior of the solid. The rate in either case in dependent on"

    0lo rate of air, The solid characteristics and Tray material.

    The drying rate of a solid is a function of temperature, humidity, flo rate and

    transport properties of drying gas. The rate of drying can be determined for a sample of a

    substance by suspending it over an electronic balance in the duct. The eight of the drying

    sample can then be measured as a function of time.

    To study the operation of rotary dryer.

    AIM

    To calculate the rate of drying for different air flo rates and different air inlet temperatures.

    To plot the rate of drying curve.

    Theory:

    In many cases, the drying of materials is the final operation in the manufacturing process,

    carried out immediately prior to packaging or dispatch. 6rying refers to final removal ofater, the operation often follos evaporation, filtration or crystalli!ation. 6rying is

    carried out for one of the folloing reasons.

    To reduce the transportation cost

    To make a material more suitable for handling, for eample soap poders, dye

    stuffs, fertili!ers.

    To provide definite properties, such as maintaining free floing nature of salt.

    To remove moistureY hich may otherise lead to corrosion, for eample, the drying

    of coal gas or ben!ene prior to chlorination.

    'lmost all drying processes involve the removal of ater by vapori!ation, thus require the

    addition of heat.

    The rotary dryer is a type of industrial dryer employed to reduce or minimi!e the liquid

    moisture content of the material by bringing it direct contact ith a heated gas. The dryer

    is made up of large rotating cylinder hich slopes slightly so that the discharge end is loer

    than the material feed end is order to cover the material under gravity. 8aterial to be dried

    enters the dryer as the dryer rotates, the material is lifted up by a series of internal fins

    lining the inner all of the dryer. Feating option include steam, gas, oil, thermal oil, and

    auillary biomass burner system.

    +onsider a rotary continuous direct heat counter current dryer fed ith a nonporous

    material having all moisture as unbound moisture. 's this material enters the dryer, it is

    first heated to the drying temperature. It ill then pass through the length of dryer at

    nearly the et@bulb temperature and theoretically at the end of the dryer, the material shall

    be discharged as dry material nearly at the et bulb temperature.

    Assumptions:

    7O heat losses from the dryer.

    Feat is applied to the material only from the air, not by conduction from the dryer

    shell.

    'll the moisture present is free moisture.

    There is no evaporation of moisture in the preliminary heating period.

    6rying proceeds at a constant et bulb temperature until desired amount of ater has been

    removed. The entering air is assumed to be #&&U saturated, so its temperature needs to

    be raised so as to decrease the relative saturation. This ould enable the air to absorb

    moisture from the et solid feed. In turn the eiting air is more saturated than the entering

    one.

    This assume that the dry gas flo > and dry solids flo 0 do not change beteen dryer inlet

    and outlet. 8ass balances can also be performed on the overall gas and solids entrainment

    in the ehaust gas stream.

    The required solids flo rate, inlet moisture content =# and outlet moisture =& are normally

    specified, and the evaporation rate and outlet gas flo are calculated.

    Description:

    The set@up consists of a long resolving cylindrical shell slightly inclined toard the outlet.

    The shell is fitted ith to brackets for support. 'ir from a bloer passes through a heating

    chamber serves the purpose of drying agent. 'n arrangement is provided for rotating the

    dryer shell connected ith electric motor and a reduction gear bo. 0lo control vale and
