Q A solid is being dried in the linear drying rate regime from moisture content Xo to XF. The drying rate is zero at X = 0 and the critical moisture content is the same as the initial moisture Xo. The drying time for M = (Ls/ARc) is (where, L = total mass of dry solid, A = total surface area for drying Rc = Constant maximum drying rate per unit area X = moisture content (in mass of water/mass of dry solids))_____________?
  • A A. M(xo – xf)
  • B B. M(xo/xf)
  • C C. M ln(xo/xf)
  • D D. Mxo ln(xo/xf)
