Social ScienceA drier can process 800 lbs per day of a material that is 90%-by-weight H2O and 10%-by-weight solids. This drier produces an intermediate that is 20%-by-weight water. This intermediate is then dried in an oven. This oven produces a final product that contains 2%-by-weight water.a. Draw a schematic of this process (hint: there are 2 units, a drier and an oven)b. What is the mass of water in all streams leaving the drier and the oven?

b. What is the mass of water in all streams leaving the drier and the oven?
Expert Answer
Part (a)
Let the basis of the calculations be 800 lbs feed/day. Solids are represented by ‘S’ and water by ‘W’. There are two units in the given process: Dryer and Oven.
nI is the mass flowrate of the intermediate, nW1 is the mass flowrate of water evaporated from the dryer, nP is the mass flowrate of the product stream, and nW2 is the mass flowrate of the evaporated water from the oven.
The schematic diagram of the given process is drawn as:
Part (b)
Apply mass balance on solids around the dryer as:
Apply mass balance on water around the dryer and use the above result to cal...
