Abstract

This paper compares performance of conventional tray and advanced tray (i.e., Porous tray) used in Batch dryer, in terms of drying time. The flat plate was used as conventional tray with Hexamine powder as test material and the porous tray was considered as advanced tray with similar Hexamine powder as test material, for drying. The drying was carried out with equal material in each plate spread uniformly until material was bone dry for both types of plates and results were noted. The result of drying curve show that for constant rate period, the rate of drying of advanced tray is greater than that for flat plate (1.45 times); And for falling rate period the curve is steeper for Flat plate. However, in case of porous tray the constant rate period is up to greater extent of drying (0.03gm/gm) than for flat plate (0.04 gm/gm). This is reflected as greater span of the constant rate period for the porous tray curve than for the flat plate curve. The observation concludes that the total drying time is 2.26 times for porous tray than for flat plate. Thus, porous tray shows increased rate of drying with less energy consumption.
