A small cooperative in Central Luzon would like to improve the quality of its rice. One way to do this
is by providing rice at a consistent moisture content. Regulations state that rice must not contain more
than 14% moisture. At harvest, the rice contains about 22% moisture. The farmers estimate that a
dryer that can dry 20 sacks of newly harvested rice per hour should be large enough. One sack contains
50 kg of rice. Atmospheric air is usually at 90% RH and 80F. A gas burner will be used to heat
atmospheric air to 150F. For design purposes, the air exiting from the dryer can be assumed to be
saturated and at 120F. How many sacks of dried rice does the drying process yield per hour?
a. 740 kg
b. 1160 kg
c. 907 kg
d. 860 kg
