1.

IN THE CONCENTRATION OF ORANGE JUICE A FRESH EXTRACTED AND STRAINED JUICE

CONTAINING 7.08 WT% SOLIDS IS FED TO A VACUUM EVAPORATOR. IN THE
EVAPORATOR, WATER IS REMOVED AND THE SOLIDS CONTENT INCREASED TO 58 WT %
SOLIDS. FOR 1000 KG/HR ENTERING, CALCULATE THE AMOUNTS OF THE OUTLET
STREAMS OF CONCENTRATED JUICE AND WATER.

2. EVAPORATION OF CANE SUGAR SOLUTIONS. AN EVAPORATOR IS USED TO CONCENTRATE

CANE SUGAR SOLUTIONS. A FREED OF 10000 KG/D OF A SOLUTION CONTAINING 38 WT%
SUGAR IS EVAPORATED, PRODUCING A 74 WT% SOLUTION. CALCULATE THE WEIGHT OF
SOLUTION PRODUCED AND AMOUNT OF WATER REMOVED.

3. PROCESSING OF FISH MEAL. FISH ARE PROCESSED INTO FISH MEAL AND USED AS A
SUPPLEMENTARY PROTEIN FOOD. IN THE PROCESSING THE OIL IS FIRST EXTRACTED TO
PRODUCE WET FISH CAKE CONTAINING 80 WT% WATER AND 20 WT% BONE-DRY CAKE.
THIS WET CAKE FEED IS DRIED IN ROTARY DRUM DRYERS TO GIVE A DRY FISH CAKE

PRODUCT CONTAINING 40 WT % WATER. FINALLY, THE PRODUCT IS FINELY GROUND AND

PACKED. CALCULATE THE KG/HR OF WET CAKE FEED NEEDED TO PRODUCE 1000 KG/HR
OF DRY FISH CAKE PRODUCT.

4. PROCESSING OF PAPER PULP. A WET

THE PULP WAS DRIED, IT WAS FOUND
PULP WAS REMOVED. CALCULATE THE
WEIGHT FOR A FEED OF 1000 KG/MIN

5. METHANE
250KPA.
WHAT IS
MINIMUM

PAPER PULP CONTAINS 68 WT % WATER. AFTER

THAT 55% OF THE ORIGINAL WATER IN THE WET
COMPOSITION OF THE DRIED PULP AND ITS
OF WET PULP.

IS FLOWING IN A PIPELINE AT THE RATE OF 20.7 M3/MIN AT 30C AND

TO CHECK THE FLOW RATE, HE IS TO BE INTRODUCED AT 25C AND 300KPA.
THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF CM3 PER MINUTE OF HE MUST BE INTRODUCED IF THE
DETECTABLE DOWNSTREAM CONCENTRATION OF HE IN THE METHANE IS 10 PPM?

6. DRYING OF CASSAVA (TAPIOCA) ROOT. TAPIOCA FLOUR IS USED IN MANY COUNTRIES

FOR BREAD AND SIMILAR PRODUCS. THE FLOUR IS MADE BY DRYING COARSE GRANULES
OF THE CASSAVA ROOT CONTAINING 66 WT % MOISTURE TO 5 % MOISTURE AND THEN
GRINDING TO PRODUCE A FLOUR. HOW MANY KG OF GRANULES MUST BE DRIED AND HOW
MUCH WATER REMOVED TO PRODUCE 5000 KG.HR OF FLOUR?

7. A CRYSTALLIZER CONTAINS 6000 LB OF AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF ANHYDROUS SODIUM

SULPHATE (CONCENTRATION 29.6 WT %) AT 104C. THE SOLUTION IS COOLED TO
20CTO CRYSTALLIZE OUT THE DESIRED Na2SO4.10H2O. THE REMAINING SOLUTION
(MOTHER LIQUOR) IS FOUND TO CONTAIN 16.1% ANHYDROUS SODIUM SULFATE. WHAT IS
THE WEIGHT OF THIS MOTHER LIQUOR?

8. A SOLUTION COMPOSED OF 50 % ETHANOL (EtOH), 10% METHANOL (MeOH), AND 40 %

WATER (H2O) IS FED AT THE RATE OF 100 KG/HR INTO A SEPARATOR THAT PRODUCES
ONE STREAM AT THE RATE OF 60 KG/HR WITH THE COMPOSITION 80% EtOH, 15% MeOH,
AND 5% H2O, AND A SECOND STREAM OF UNKNOWN COMPOSITION. CALCULATE THE
COMPOSITION (IN %) OF THE THREE COMPOUNDS IN THE UNKNOWN STREAM AND ITS FLOW
RATE IN KG/HR.

9. A CELLULOSE SOLUTION CONTAINS 5.2% CELLULOSE BY WEIGHT IN WATER. HOW MANY

KILOGRAMS OF 1.2% SOLUTION ARE REQUIRED TO DILUTE 100 KG OF 5.2% SOLUTION TO
4.2%?

10.
A WATER SOLUTION CONTAINS 60% NA2S2O2 TOGETHER WITH 1% SOLUBLE
IMPURITY. UPON COOLING TO 10C, NA2S2O2-5H2O CRYTALLIZES OUT. THE SOLUBILITY
OF THIS HYDRATE IS 1.4LB NA2S2O2-5H2O/LB FREE WATER. THE CRYSTALS REMOVED
CARRY AS ADHERING SOLUTION 0.06 LB SOLUTION/ LB CRYSTALS. THESE ARE DRIED TO

REMOVE THE REMAINING WATER (BUT NOT THE WATER OF HYDRATION). THE FINAL DRY
NA2S2O2-5H2O CRYSTALS MUST NT CONTAIN MORE THAN 0.1% IMPURITY. TO MEET THIS
SPECIFICATION, THE ORIGINAL SOLUTIOM, BEFORE COOLING, IS FURTHER DILUTED
WITH WATER. ON THE BASIS OF 100 LB OF ORIGINAL SOLUTION, CALCULATE: (A) THE
AMOUNT OF WATER ADDED BEFORE COOLING (B)THE PERCENTAGE RECOVERY OF THE
NA2S2O2 IN THE DRIED HYDRATED CRYSTALS.

11.
A CEREAL PRODUCT CONTAINING 55% WATER IS MADE AT THE RATE OF 500
KG/HR. YOU NEED TO DRY THE PRODUCT SO THAT IT CONTAINS ONLY 30%WATER. HOW
MUCH WATER HAS TO BE EVAPORATED PER HOUR?

12.
WET AIR CONTAINING 4MOL% OF WATER VAPOR IS PASSED THROUGH A COLUMN OF
CALCIUM CHLORIDE PELLETS. THE PELLETS ADSORB 97WT% OF THE WATER AND NONE OF
THE OTHER CONSTITUENTS OF THE AIR. THE COLUMN PACKING WAS INITIALLY DRY AND
HAD A MASS OF 3.40KG. FOLLOWING 5HRS OPERATION, THE PELLETS ARE REWEIGHED

AND FOUND TO HAVE A MASS OF 3.54KG. CALCULATE THE MOLAR FLOW RATE (MOL/H) OF
THE FEED GAS AND THE MOLE FRACTION OF WATER VAPOR IN THE PRODUCT GAS.

13.
IN ORDER TO MEET A CERTAIN OCTANE NUMBER SPECIFICATION, IT IS
NECESSARY TO PRODUCE GASOLINE CONTAINING 80%W ISOOCTANE AND 20%W N-HEPTANE.
HOW MANY LITERS OF A HIGH-OCTANE GASOLINE CONTAINING 90%W ISOOCTANE AND 10%W
N-HEPTANE MUST BE BLENDED WITH A STRAIGHT-RUN GASOLINE CONTAINING 65%W
ISOOCTANE AND 35%W N-HEPTANE TO OBTAIN 10,000 LITERS OF DESIRED GASOLINE?
THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF EACH OF THE LIQUIDS IS 0.805.

14.
A DAIRY PRODUCES CASEIN WHICH WHEN WET CONTAINS 23.7%MOISTURE. THEY
SELL THIS FOR $8.00/100LB. THEY ALSO DRY THIS CASEIN TO PRODUCE A PRODUCT
CONTAINING 10% MOISTURE. THEIR DRYING COSTS ARE $0.80/100LB WATER REMOVED.
WHAT SHOULD BE THE SELLING PRICE OF THE DRIED CASEIN TO MAINTAIN THE SAME
MARGIN OF PROFIT?
