The steady-state process shown below extracts oil from soybeans. If the soybeans and solvent hexane are fed to the extractor at a rate of 250 kg/hr and 560 kg/hr respectively, calculate: a) the mass rate (kg/h) and composition of the raffinate b) the mass rate (kg/h) and composition of the extract c) the mass of oil recovered per hour d) the mass of hexane used to recover oil from the extract per hour (stream 5) soybeans: 37 wt% oil 45 wt% protein 18 wt% fiber protein fiber 3.0 wt% hexane hexane oil Oil extractor hexane (5) hexane oil Oil recovery
