Below is a flowsheet for a crystallization process. A hot solution of water and a
substance A enters the cooler (Stream 1 contains A and water). At the cooler, some
of the water is removed (Stream 2 contains only water) and the rest (called "slurry")
enters a filter (stream 3 contains A and water). At the filter, wet crystals are collected
(Stream 4 contains A and water), while a solution of water and A leaves in stream 5.
It is known that:
50 kg of hot solution enter the process with 32 wt% of A
3 kg of water is removed from the cooler (Stream 2)
The final cold solution is 42 kg
Determine the degrees of freedom in the filter.
