An experiment on the growth rate of certain organism requires an environment of humid air enriched in oxygen. Three input streams are fed into an evaporation chamber to produce an output stream with the desired composition. A: Liquid water fed at rate of 20 cm³/min B: Air (21% O₂ and 79% N₂) C: Pure O₂ with a molar flow rate one-fifth of the molar flow rate of stream B The output gas is analyzed and is found to contain 1.5 mole% water. Draw and label the flowchart of the process, and calculate all unknown stream variables.

Question
An experiment on the growth rate of certain organism requires an
environment of humid air enriched in oxygen. Three input streams are fed
into an evaporation chamber to produce an output stream with the desired
composition.
A: Liquid water fed at rate of 20 cm³/min
B: Air (21% O₂ and 79% N₂)
C: Pure O₂ with a molar flow rate one-fifth of the molar flow rate of stream B
The output gas is analyzed and is found to contain 1.5 mole% water. Draw and
label the flowchart of the process, and calculate all unknown stream
variables.
