71.5% other components, calculate: (60 minutes) a) The kg of beans that come out of the press (D). b) The kg of beans that come out of the extractor (G). c) The kg of beans that come out of the dryer (I).
Soybeans are processed in 3 stages. In the first stage the beans are ground and then pressed to remove some of the oil (C). The beans that come out of the press (D) contain 6% oil. In the second stage, the pressed beans are extracted with hexane to produce an extracted bean (G) with 0.5% by weight of oil. In the last stage, the beans are dried to give a product (I) with 8% water. Assume that the losses in the mill are negligible, so that they do not change the total mass and composition of the input stream.
If 100 kg / h of soybeans (A) are processed, with a composition of 18% oil, 10.5% water and 71.5% other components, calculate: (60 minutes)
a) The kg of beans that come out of the press (D).
b) The kg of beans that come out of the extractor (G).
c) The kg of beans that come out of the dryer (I).
