^Binder oxidizes and liberates beat, which is neglected in this calculation. bAverage value of coefficient is less than 0.3 because oven is not up to 575 F. This is neglected. 422 F is arrived at by taking,area under curve as compared to area under 575 F ordinate.

Y = 2 (X + 15) for 66.7 per cent recirculation.
where
S = heat content of air at temperature noted taken from Fig. 8 (Recirculation and exhaust contains water vapor, products of combustion, and a greater portion of air. Heat capacities of all vary so little that they have all been assumed to be air). Ssa - Sc, = 190 - 91 = 99 Ss - 5to = 190 --8.6 = 181.4
Substituting values of Y, H, etc. in Equation 4,
(2 X + 30) 99 + 181.4 X = 12,930 X = 26.3 lb excess air. Y = 82.6 lb recirculating air.
Total = 26.3 + 82.6 + 15 = 123.9 lb air and products of combustion circulated per pound fuel burned.
Heat in air exhausted from oven at 422 F per pound fuel burned = 0.333 X 123 9 X (5, - 5,0) = 41.3 (91 - 8.6) = 3,400 Btu.
Btu available for heating material = 16,005 -- 3,400 = 12,605 Btu per pound fuel. Fuel used in first hour = 2,180,470 4- 12,605 = 173 lb = 25.6 gal.
During the second hour the heater capacity will be much greater than required. If an automatic oven temperature control operates on the oil supply, the delivery tem perature of the air entering the oven and the quantity of oil burned will decrease, the air supply being constant.
Heat in air exhausted = 41.3 (Sm -- Sn) = 41.3 (127 -- 8.6) = 4880 Btu per pound fuel.
Heat available for heating material = 16,005 -- 4880 = 11,125 Btu.
Fuel used in second hour = 1,072,008 -4- 11,125 = 96.5 lb oil = 14.3 gal.
Total oil used per load = 25.6 + 14.3 = 39.9 gal.

ESTIMATING METHODS
Values based on practical experience are available for rough estimating of drying problems. The temperature will drop approximately 8.5 F per grain of water evaporated per cubic foot of air (measured at 70 F) or approximately 0.62 F per pound of air at any temperature; Air will drop 55 F per cubic foot for each Btu extracted. Generally air will absorb from 2 grains to 5 grains per cubic foot of air in one passage through an air drier, depending on the temperature and the degree of contact with the material. The amount of steam required to evaporate a pound of water will vary from 1.5 lb to a more usual figure of from 2.5 to 3 lb of steam per pound of water evaporated.
