Q167

Heat transfer co-efficient, hG(Kcal/hr.m2.°C) and mass velocity of air, G (kg/hr.m2) for air flow parallel to the surface in case of constant drying rate in batch drying is related as hG = 0.0176 G0.8. But when the flow of air perpendicular to the surface is encountered, this equation changes to
