If 100 g of Na2SO4 are dissolved in 200 g of H 2O and the solution is cooled until 100 g of
Na2SO4 · 10 H2O crystallize out, find (a) the composition of the remaining solution
(mother liquor), and (b) the grams of crystals recovered per 100 g of initial solution.
Hint: Treat the hydrated crystals as a separate stream leaving the process.
2. One thousand kilograms of FeCl3 · 6 H2O are added to a mixture of crystals of FeCl 3
·H2O to produce a mixture of FeCl3 · 2.5 H2O crystals. How much FeCl3 · H2O must be
added to produce the most FeCl3 · 2.5 H2O?
Hint: Treat the hydrated crystals as a separate stream leaving the process.
3. A manufacturer of briquettes has a contract to make briquettes for barbecuing that are
guaranteed to not contain over 10% moisture or 10% ash. The basic material used has this
analysis: moisture 12.4%, volatile material 16.6%, carbon 57.5%, and ash 13.5%. To
meet the specifications (at their limits) the manufacturer plans to mix with the base
material a certain amount of petroleum coke that has this analysis: volatile material 8.2%,
carbon 88.7%, and moisture 3.1%. How much petroleum coke must be added per 100 lb
of the base material?
4. Consider the following process for recovering NH3 from a gas stream composed of N2
and NH3.

Flowing upward through the process is the gas stream, which can contain NH 3 and N2 but not
solvent S, and flowing downward through the device is a liquid stream which can contain
NH3 and liquid S but not N 2. The weight fraction of NH3 in the gas stream A leaving the
process is related to the weight fraction of NH 3 in the liquid stream B leaving the process by
A B
the following empirical relationship: w N H =2 w N H

5. To save energy, stack gas from a furnace is used to dry rice. The flowsheet and known
data are shown in Figure. What is the amount of recycle gas (in pound moles) per 100 lb
of P if the concentration of water in the gas stream entering the dryer is 5.20%?

6. Find the kilograms of recycle per kilogram of feed if the amount of waste (W) is 60 kg of
A from the Figure below:
7. Several streams are mixed as shown in Figure below. Calculate the flows of each stream
in kilograms per second.

8. In a dissolution tank, solid (pure) caustic soda is dissolved with water W1 kg to produce
50% (by mass) caustic solution. After complete dissolution and cooling, the solution is
sent to a dilution tank where bypassed water W2 kg is added to produce 30% caustic
solution. If there is no loss of raw materials, calculate the mass ratio of W1/W2.

9. F=1000 kg/hr of cane is converted to sugar water solution for the production of sugar in
the following system.
i) Calculate E and its composition
ii) Calculate compositions of G and H.
Take 3 separate components in the system, such as pulp, sugar, and water. Assume steady
state of flow rates in the mill and screen.
10. An air conditioning plant fed with 1000 kg/hr of air stream at 30 oC with moisture content
of 0.018 kg water/kg of dry air to produce 20 oC air of moisture content 0.009 kg water
per kg of dry air and pure water vapor. Calculate the flowrates of dried air and water
vapor.
