In the production of canned corn, 100 g of corn suspension contains 2.5 g fructose, 50 g of water, and 47.5 g solid particles is used. This solution is mixed with 100 g molasses, which contains 50 g of sucrose, 1 g fructose, 18 g water, and 31 g solid particles. Water, W is added to obtain a diluted sugar solution containing 2 g of fructose per 100 g of suspension in the final product. The mass flow rate of the corn suspension and molasses is 125 kg/h and 45 kg/h, respectively.
Based on the given situation, 
a)      draw the process flow diagram with the detailed information of the materials. 
b)      state ONE (1) assumption to facilitate the problem-solving.
c)      determine the amount of water, W that is required for this process in kg/h. 
d)      determine the final sucrose concentration in g per 100 g suspension. 
e)      list in a table the amount of each component and the total amount for each material flowing in and flowing out of the mixing process. All units must be in kg/h. The table template is attached.
