Calculate final amount of concentrated juice


In a process for concentrating 1000kg of freshly extracted orange juice containing 12.5 wt% solids, the juice is strained, yielding 800kg of strained juice and 200kg of pulpy juice.the strained juice is concentrated in a vacuum evaporator to give an evaporated juice of 58% solids.The 200kg of pulpy is bypassed around the evaporator and mixed with the evaporated juice in a mixer to improve the flavor.This finalconcentrated juice contains 42 wt% solids.

A). Draw and completely label a flow chart for this system (show known and unknown variables)

B). Calculate the following 1. Wt% of solids in the strained juice 2. The final amount of concentrated juice 3. Wt% of the solids in the pulpy juice bypass
