In the sugar process it was obtained that 1000 kg/h of a sugary solution containing 12% (w/w) of sugar fed to an evaporator eliminates part of the water to obtain a solution with 50% (w/w) of solids. This stream is taken to a crystallizing device where sugar crystals containing 5% moisture are eliminated. The saturated solution that exits the crystallizer contains 35.5% (w/w) of solids, and it is recycled to the evaporator. Complete/label the process diagram and calculate the amount of recycled stream and the crystal stream flow.

Question
Transcribed Image Text:In the sugar process it was obtained that 1000 kg/h of a sugary solution containing 12% (w/w) of sugar fed
to an evaporator eliminates part of the water to obtain a solution with 50% (w/w) of solids. This stream is
taken to a crystallizing device where sugar crystals containing 5% moisture are eliminated. The saturated
solution that exits the crystallizer contains 35.5% (w/w) of solids, and it is recycled to the evaporator.
Complete/label the process diagram and calculate the amount of recycled stream and the crystal stream
flow.
