Subtopic: Psychrometry and Grain Drying

Question Statement:

Page's equation for thin-layer drying modifies the simple exponential model as:

Options:

  • (A) $\frac{M - M_e}{M_0 - M_e} = \exp(-k t^n)$
  • (B) $\frac{M - M_e}{M_0 - M_e} = \exp(-k^n t)$
  • (C) $\frac{M - M_e}{M_0 - M_e} = 1 - k t^n$
  • (D) $\frac{M - M_e}{M_0 - M_e} = \exp(-n / (k t))$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Page introduced the empirical power index $n$ on time: $MR = \exp(-k t^n)$, giving superior curve fit for agricultural seeds.
