    CH 150 - Process Calculations, Tutorial -4

    (1) Soybean seeds oil is extracted with hexane in a batch extractor. The flaked seeds contain 18.2% oil,
    69.5% solid and 12.3% moisture. At the end of the process, cake is separated from hexane oil mixture.
    The cake analysis yields 0.8% oil, 88.2% solids and 11.0% moisture. Find the percentage recovery of
    oil. All percentage are by weight.
    Ans: 96.54%.

    (2) 2500 kg of wet solids containing 70% solids by weight are fed to tray dryer where it is dried by hot
    air. The product finally obtained is found to contain 1% moisture by weight. Calculate:
    (i) Amount (in kg) of water removed from wet solids.
    (ii) Amount (in kg) of product obtained.
    Ans: (i) 732.32 kg, (ii) 1767.68 kg

    (3) Milk powder is produced in a spray dryer which evaporates all of liquid (H2O). The operation is
    shown in figure below.

    Assuming inlet air contains no water. Calculate:


    (i) Molal flow rate of the inlet air.
    (ii) Production rate of powdered milk
    Ans: (i) 449.65 kmol/h, (ii) 473.04 kg/h
    (4) A gas mixture containing 15 mole% A and 85 mole% inerts is fed to an absorption tower where it
    is contacted with liquid solvent B which absorbs A. The mole ratio of solvent to gas entering tower
    is 2:1. The gas leaving the absorber contains 2.5% A, 1.5% B and rest inerts on mole basis. Calculate:

    (i) The percentage recovery of solute ‘A’ and


    (ii) The fraction of solvent ‘B’ fed to column lost in gas leaving the tower.
    Ans: (i) 85.2% (ii) 0.066.

    (5) A solution of NaNO3 in water at 40°C contains 48% NaNO3 by weight. Calculate the percentage
    saturation of this solution. Calculate (i) the weight of NaNO3 that may be crystallized from 1000 kg of
    this solution by reducing the temperature to 10°C and (ii) the percentage yield.
    Solubility of NaNO3 at 40°C is 51.4% by weight
    Solubility of NaNO3 at 10°C is 44.5% by weight
    Ans: (i) 93.4%, (ii) 13.1%.

    (6) A crystallizer is charged with 7500 kg of an aqueous solution at 104°C, 28.5% by weight which is
    anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solution is cooled. During cooling operation 5% of water originally
    present was lost. As a result, the crystals of Na2SO4.10H2O crystallize out. The mother liquor is found
    to contain 18.2% by weight of anhydrous salt. Calculate (i) the yield of crystals and (ii) quantity of
    mother liquor.

    Ans: (i) 3171.4 kg (ii) 4060 kg.
