Question
Chapter 4.12, Problem 7P
To determine
The objective tree for the following statement: We have a mountain-sized pile of wood chips that we want to process into the fire logs for home use. We are located in Tallahassee, Florida. We can have a continuous supply of wood chips throughout the year. We should be able to produce 50 fire logs per minute. The shareholders require us to have a large profit margin, and our price should be lower than our competition for the same size logs. The logs should produce enough heat to keep our customers satisfied, and they should have environmentally clean exhaust.

Answer the two connected questions (Task A-1 and A-2). Provided in the last part are the guides and examples:
The process for large-scale manufacture of paper has been largely unchanged for the last 125 years. The pulp and paper industry today is highly capital intensive, and there is an ongoing drive towards process integration, thereby increasing the efficiency of utilization of available process resources. This paper deals with the Kraft process (see Fig. 1) though the general principles described can be extended to other pulping processes. As shown in Figure 1, five water sinks and four water sources are considered for in-plant water reuse/ recycle. Prior to water reuse/ recycle, the network requires a freshwater flow rate of 36,400 tonne/day and generates 37,186 tonne/day of wastewater (sum of the individual sink and source flow rates in Table 1). The freshwater source that is available for service has an impurity concentration (chloride content) of 4.2 ppm, which is higher than…
