The image above represents dryer capacity. To calculate dryer capacity, two essential parameters are needed: material consumption (M_c) and drying time (T_D).

The formula for calculating dryer capacity:

D_c = ^M_c / _{T_D}

Where:

D_c = Dryer Capacity
M_c = Material Consumption
T_D = Drying Time

Let’s solve an example;
Given that the material consumption is 28 and the drying time is 34, find the dryer capacity.

This implies that;

M_c = Material Consumption = 28
T_D = Drying Time = 34

D_c = ^M_c / _{T_D}
So, D_c = ²⁸ / ₃₄
D_c = 0.82

Therefore, the dryer capacity is 0.82.

Calculating for Material Consumption when the Dryer Capacity and the Drying time are Given

M_c = D_c x T_D

Where:

M_c = Material Consumption
D_c = Dryer Capacity
T_D = Drying Time

Let’s solve an example;
Find the material consumption when the dryer capacity is 40 and the drying time is 2.

This implies that;

D_c = Dryer Capacity = 40
T_D = Drying Time = 2

M_c = D_c x T_D
So, M_c = 40 x 2
M_c = 80

Therefore, the material consumption is 80.

Calculating for Drying time when the Dryer Capacity and the Material Consumption are Given

T_D = ^M_c / _{D_c}

Where:

T_D = Drying Time
D_c = Dryer Capacity
M_c = Material Consumption

Let’s solve an example;
Find the drying time of a given dryer capacity of 38 and material consumption of 18.

This implies that;

D_c = Dryer Capacity = 38
M_c = Material Consumption = 18

T_D = ^M_c / _{D_c}
So, T_D = ¹⁸ / ₃₈
T_D = 0.47

Therefore, the drying time is 0.47.
