1. Thousand kilograms of soya beans are composed of 18% oil, 35% protein, 10.0% moisture,
and the balance are carbohydrates, fiber, and ash. The feed is crushed and pressed, which
reduces oil content in beans to 6%, and then extracted with hexane to produce a meal
containing 0.5% oil, and finally dried to 8% moisture. Assuming that there is no loss of
protein and water with the oil, determine the water loss during drying.
2. The feed to a separation process contains 50 wt% benzene, 30 wt% toluene, and 20 wt%
xylene. The feed enters the process at a flow rate of 100 kg/h. The overhead stream from
the first unit contains 95 wt% benzene, 3 wt% toluene, and 2 wt% xylene. The overhead
stream from the second unit contains 3 wt% benzene, 95 wt% toluene, and 2 wt% xylene.
The flow rate of the overhead from the first unit is 52% of the fresh feed flow rate. The
amount of benzene in the overhead from the second unit is 75% of the benzene that enters
the second unit. Determine the flow rates for all of the streams leaving both units.
3. 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.
4. The feed stream to a processing system consists of 40 wt% A, 25 wt% B, and 35 wt% C.
This stream enters the first process unit from which two streams emerge. The overhead
stream from unit one contains 60 wt% A and no C. The bottom stream from unit one
(stream 3) goes to a second unit. Two streams emerge from unit 2. The top stream contains
20 wt% B and no C. The bottom stream from unit 2 contains 30 wt% A, 20 wt% B, and 50
wt% C, and leaves unit 2 at a rate of 140 kg/h. Draw a flow chart for this system. Determine
the flow rates for streams 1 through 4.
5. The raw feed to a sulfur removal system contains 15 mol% CO2, 7% H2S, and the balance
is CH4. The fresh feed to the unit is 100 kmol/h. The original absorber design places a
maximum flow rate limit of 80 kmol/h, and yields a product stream with only 1% H2S, and
the balance is CO2 and CH4. The absorber removes H2S only. The excess feed flow rate is
bypassed and blended with the product stream. Draw and label the process flowchart. Find
the CO2 mole fraction in the absorber exit gas stream.
6. A distillation column separates a mixture of 100 kg/h of 50% ethanol and the balance is
water. The distillate at the top of the column was found to contain 95% ethanol, and the
bottom products contain 96% water. The vapor flow rate from the top of the column is 80
kg/h. The condenser condenses vapor completely. A portion of the condenser product is
recycled to the column as reflux. The rest of the condensate is withdrawn as product.
Calculate the bottom stream mass flow rate.
7. A fresh feed stream flowing at a rate of 100 kg/min consists of the mass fractions 0.4 A,
0.1 B, and 0.5 C and enters an evaporator where the evaporator product stream leaving
from the top of the evaporator contains 0.8 mol fraction A and the balance is B and C.
Sixty percent of the evaporator product stream is recycled and combined with the fresh
feed stream. The evaporator product stream consists of 0.3 mass fractions A and 0.125
mass fractions B, and the balance is C. Draw and label the process flow sheet and
determine the flow rate and mass fraction of A in the evaporator feed streams.
