FOOD ENGINEERING - QUESTION 23.2 : (a) A dryer reduces the moisture content of 100 kg of a potato product from 80 % to 10 % moisture. Find the mass of the water removed in such drying process. (b) During the drying process, the air is cooled from 80 °C to 71 °C in passing through the dryer. If the latent heat of vaporization corresponding to a saturation temperature of 71 °C is 2331 kJ / kg for water, find the heat energy required to evaporate the water only. (c) Assume potato enters at 24 °C, which is also the ambient air temperature, and leaves at the same temperature as the exit air. The specific heat of potato is 3.43 kJ / (kg °C). Find the minimum heat energy required to raise the temperature of the potatoes. (d) 250 kg of steam at 70 kPa gauge is used to heat 49,800 cubic metre of air to 80 °C, and the air is cooled to 71 °C in passing through the dryer. If the latent heat of steam at 70 kPa gauge is 2283 kJ / kg, find the heat energy in steam. (e) Calculate the efficiency of the dryer based heat input and output, in drying air. Use the formula (Ti - To) / (Ti - Ta) where Ti is the inlet (high) air temperature into the dryer, To is the outlet air temperature from the dryer, and Ta is the ambient air temperature.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.36 : Du Pont analysis is used to perform calculation on Return On Equity (ROE) for an engineering organization. Let Net Income = A; Earning Before Tax (EBT) = B; Earning Before Interest, Tax (EBIT) = C; Sales = D; Assets = E; Equity = F. In 5-step Du Pont formula, let Tax Burden = G = A / B; Interest Burden = H = B / C = 1.04; EBIT % = I = C / D = 0.27; Asset Turnover = J = D / E = 0.66; Leverage = K = E / F = 2.66; ROE = L = A / F. If (1 / G) = (4 / 3) : (a) find the value of L; (b) calculate the values of A, B, C, E and F when D = $1500; (c) verify the answer (b) is correct by using the answer (a).
