Question

Fresh orange juice with a content of 12% w / w in dissolved solids, is used by an industrial unit for the production of concentrated juices. Condensation is achieved using an evaporator. To improve the aroma and taste of the concentrated juice, a portion of the fresh orange juice bypasses the evaporator and mixes with the evaporator product (effluent), which contains 58% w / w dissolved solids. The downside of using the evaporator is the removal of some volatile compounds contained in a very small percentage in the fresh juice and giving it its aroma and taste characteristics.
1. Draw the flow diagram of the process, considering only 2 components: water and dissolved solids. Analyze degrees of freedom in all discrete systems to which mass balances can be applied
