Heat transfer co-efficient equation for forced convection, Nu = 0.023 Re 0.8. Pr n, is not valid, if the value of __________________?

A. n = 0.4 is used for heating
B. n = 0.3 is used for cooling
C. Reynolds number for the flow involved is > 10000
D. Reynolds number for the flow involved is < 2100

In a laboratory test run, the rate of drying was found to be 0.5 x 10-3 kg/m2.s, when the moisture content reduced from 0.4 to 0.1 on dry basis. The critical moisture content of the material is 0.08 on a dry basis. A tray dryer is used to dry 100 kg (dry basis) of the same material under identical conditions. The surface area of the material is 0.04 m2/kg of dry solid. The time required (in seconds) to reduce the moisture content of the solids from 0.3 to 0.2 (dry basis) is______________________?
