The figure shows parts of a production line for making frozen falafel. 85. kg/h of ingredients
are mixed and shaped into cylindrical pieces in the shaper (these cylinders will have turned
almost spherical before completely cooked). Of the total mass flow entering the shaper, 5.0 %
of the mass goes into 'shaping losses' when forming the cylinders. This is recirculated back
to the mixer. The falafel is then cooked in a two-step process, with a continuous immersion
fryer followed by a steam oven. Finally, the product is frozen in an air-blast freezer. After the
shaper, the product has a water content (wet basis) of 68 %, and when entering the freezer, it
has a wet-basis content of 60 %. The product will also pick up 0.052 kg of the cooking oil per
kg of product entering the fryer. How much product enters the freezer per hour?
