How do you wire a 220v dryer to run on 110?
You can't. A 220 volt dryer requires 220 volts in order to operate properly. It will not run on 110 volts.
How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?
A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.
Why is your ac wired in 10-2 wire and your dryer wired w 10-3 wire when both are units that require 220 v30 amps?

Why do you need a double 30A pole for an electric dryer if you only have one pole left in your box?
The dryer is 220VAC. You need a double pole breaker to get 220 out of a home breaker panel. Perhaps you should contact an electrician who understands wiring so that you don't burn your house down.
Can a dryer outlet be converted to 2 separate circuits?
If you are no longer using the dryer and there are 4-wires, and the dryer was 220 to 240 volts, it can be split into two 110 to 120 Volt circuits.
Is there a device to operate a 220 volt dryer into two separate 110 volt outlets?
No and it wouldn't work. The wires in a standard plug (#14) even at 240 volts would not be large enough to handle the 30 amps (#10) that a dryer would need.
