Solve eqns (3.9), (3.10) and (3.11) simultaneously and find X=.................. g,
C=............................... g and W=............................... g.
Exercise 3.4
According to some indications, crystallization of honey is avoided if the ratio of
glucose to water is equal to 1.70. Given the composition of two honeys, find the
proportions in which they have to be mixed so that the ratio of glucose to water
in the blend is 1.7. What will be the composition of the blend?
Honey H1: glucose 35%, fructose 33%, sucrose 6%, water 16%.
Honey H2: glucose 27%, fructose 37%, sucrose 7%, water 19%.
Solution
Step 1
Draw the process diagram:
Glucose 27%
Fructose 37%
Sucrose 7%
Water 19%
MIXING
H2
Glucose 35%
Fructose 33%
Sucrose 6%
Water 16%
H1 Hb
Step 2
Select 1000 kg of blend as a basis for calculation (Hb=1000 kg).
Step 3
Write the total and component mass balances in the envelope around the process:
i) Overall mass balance
