Question

Transcribed Image Text:Question 2
A slurry of flaked soybeans weighing a total of 100 kg contains 75 kg of inert solids and 25 kg of
solution with 10 wt % oil and 90 wt % solvent hexane. This slurry is contacted with 100 kg of pure
hexane in a single stage so that the value of N for the outlet underflow is 1.5 kg insoluble solid/kg
solution retained. Calculate the amounts and compositions of the overflow R, and the
underflow E, leaving the stage.

- 1) An evaporator is concentrating solutions coming from three different sources.The first source contains 20% NaCl by weight, the rest is water. The secondsource contains 10% by weight NaCl, 30% NaOH by weight, the rest water. Thethird source contains 25% NaCl by mole, 25 % NaOH by mole, the rest water.The feed streams are fed directly to the evaporator at the following flow rates;100 kg/min for the first source, 7800 kg/min for the second source and 120kg/min for the third source. If 70% of the original water is evaporated, calculate(a) composition in % by weight of the product (b) the flow rate in kg/min of theproduct.2) Two process streams are mixed to form a single stream. Only the flow in themixed stream is known. A soluble salt is added to one of the original streams ata steady rate. Samples taken of this stream show it to be 4.76 % w salt.
