100-120. A 3387 kg of moisture per hour is being removed from a material by a drier and the air leaving it has a humidity ratio of 0.02345 kg of moisture per kg of dry air. The outside air is initially at 16°C dry bulb and has a relative humidity of 50%. The air is heated to a temperature of 69°C by steam coils and between the heater and the drier air inlet a drop of 9°C occurs in the air temperature. How much steam is required in kg/s if the steam supplied is at 138 kPa and 0.97 quality?
