The flowrate(lb/hr) of the concentrated juice out of the last evaporator. b)The amount of water(lb/hr) removed in each evaporator. c)The flow rate(lb/hr) of the juice fed to the third evaporator. d) The concentration of water (%) in the juice fed to the third evaporator
Question 1
As part of the process of producing sugar crystals from sugar cane,raw sugar cane juice is sent to a series of evaporators to remove water.The sugar juice,which is 85wt% water is fed to the first evaorator at 10,000lb/hr.The concentrated juice out of the last evaporator is 50wt% water.Calculate the water evaporated in each evaporator,assuming that the fraction of water in the feed removed in each evaporator is the same.Calculate:
a) The flowrate(lb/hr) of the concentrated juice out of the last evaporator.
b)The amount of water(lb/hr) removed in each evaporator.
c)The flow rate(lb/hr) of the juice fed to the third evaporator.
d) The concentration of water (%) in the juice fed to the third evaporator.
