Sugar juice, an intermediate in sugar production, fed at 10,000 lb/h at 40% concentration at an evaporator. The feed sugar juice is mixed with the filtrate from the downstream crystallizer. The water content of the recycled filtrate and sugar juice are evaporated first. The resulting sugar juice solution from the evaporator is 50% by weight of sugar juice. The product of the evaporator then go to a crystallizer where the concentrated sugar juice is cooled to produce solid sugar that is 95% of the feed with 5% filtrate which consist of 45% sugar. The recycled filtrate comes from the liquid portion not converted to solid sugar. Determine the amount of water removed in the evaporator and the flow of recycle.
