Wet sugar that contains one fifth water by mass is conveyed through an evaporator in which 85.0% of the entering water is vaporized. Taking a basis of 100 kg feed, calculate;

a.the mass fraction of water in the wet sugar leaving the evaporator.

b.the ratio (kg H2O vaporized/kg wet sugar leaving the evaporator)

In the commercial production of sugar, the product crystals are washed and centrifuged to partial dryness. The crystals are then sent through a rotary dryer where they are contacted with a hot stream of air that reduces the moisture content from 1.0 wt% to 0.1 wt%. The ratio of wet sugar to inlet air fed to the dryer is 3.3 kg wet sugar/kg inlet air. The inlet air contains 1.5 mole% water. a.) Draw and label the flowchart and do...

A dehumidifier is used to remove water from air, to deliver dehumidified air with a water content of 1.7 mol% H2O to a room. The fresh air that needs to be dehumidified contains 4 mole% water. A stream of the fresh air is combined with a recycle stream of previously dehumidified air and passed through the dehumidifier. The blended stream entering the dehumidifier contains 2.3 mole% H2O.   A fraction of the dehumidified air leaving the dehumidifier is recycled and the...

Fresh apple juice contains 75% water flowing at a mass flow rate of 200 kg/h. The fresh juice is concentrated in an evaporation process. A portion of the fresh feed is bypassed to meet the evaporator maximum capacity. The bypass stream joins the evaporator outlet stream. Ninety percent of the water entering the evaporator is evaporated. The concentrated apple juice contains 25% water. Draw the process flow sheet and calculate the mass flow rates of produced and evaporated streams. provide...

Seawater containing 3.50 wt% salt passes through a series of 9 evaporators. Roughly equal quantities of water are vaporized in each of the 9 units and then condensed and combined to obtain a product stream of fresh water. The brine leaving each evaporator but the 9th is fed to the next evaporator. The brine leaving the 9th evaporator contains 4.70 wt% salt. It is desired to produce 1 x 104 L/h of fresh water. 1)How much seawater must be fed...

Wet air containing 4.0 mole% water vapor at 76°F and 14.8 psia is passed through a column of calcium chloride pellets. The pellets absorb 97% of the water and none of the other constituents of the air. The column packing was initially dry and had a mass of 3.40 kg. Following 5.0 hours of operation, the pellets are reweighed and found to have a mass of 3.52 kg. Calculate the molar flow rate (mol/h) of the feed gas and the...

The figure shows a flowchart for the production of potassium nitrate. The fresh feed consists of 850 kg per hour of a 20% potassium nitrate solution which is concentrated in an evaporator. Before entering the evaporator the fresh feed is mixed with a regulated stream of a saturated solution at 40 degrees Celsius from a filter. The saturated solution of this salt at 40 degrees Celsius has a composition of 0.6 kg of salt per kilo of water. From the...

100 kg of a solution of KNO3 in water that is 70/30 by mass is cooled from 95oC to 30oC in a crystallizer. There are two streams from the crystallizer: one stream containing a saturated solution that is discarded as waste, and another product stream that contains both a filter cake of pure KNO3 and saturated solution. The mass ratio of filter cake to saturated solution in the second stream is 90:10. This product stream is then sent to an...

In an absorption tower (or absorber), a gas is contacted with a liquid such that one or more components in the gas is transferred in the liquid. A stripping tower (stripper) also involves a gas contacting a liquid but components are transferred from the liquid into the gas. A process consisting of an absorber and a stripper is used to separate the components of a gas containing 35.0 mole% CO2 and the balance CH4. This gas is fed to the...
