    1. Strawberries contain about 15 % Solids and 85 % water.

    To make a strawberry jam, crushed


    strawberries and sugar are mixed in a 45:55 ratio, and the mixture is heated to evaporate water
    until the residue contain one-third water by mass. Calculate how many grams of strawberries are
    needed to make a kilogram of jam.

    F1 = 485.83 g of strawberries

    2. Fresh feed stream flowing at 100 kg/h contains 20 wt% KNO3 and the balance water. The fresh
    feed stream is combined with a recycle stream and is fed to an evaporator. The concentrated
    liquid solution leave the evaporator containing 50 wt % KNO3 is fed to a crystallizer. The crystals
    obtained from the crystallizer is wet and contains 4 wt % water. The liquid from the crystallizer
    constitute the recycle stream and contains 0.6 kg KNO3 per 1 kg water. Calculate:
    a) Weight of product crystal collected
    b) Weight of water removed in the evaporator.
    c) Weight of the recycled stream

    3. A stream of air at 40 oC and 1 atm has a dew point of 20 oC. Determine the following:
    a. Molar humidity
    b. Absolute humidity
    c. Relative Humidity
    d. % Humidity
    e. % (mole) water vapor

    4. Dry air containing at 90 oC and 1 atm is humidified by spraying water and gas mixture leaves the
    humidifier saturated 60 oC and 1 atm. Calculate the moles of water added per 100 moles of dry air
    entering.

    5. Contaminated air contains 3 mol% acetone and 2 mol% water vapor. The air was sent to an
    absorber to completely remove the acetone using water as absorber. The air leaving the absorber
    contains 0.5 mol % water and the liquid leaving the system contains 19 wt% acetone and 81 wt %
    water. Calculate the weight of water used per 100 mol of contaminated air
    Contaminated air E

    19 wt % C3H6O S H2O
    81 wt % water

    Required: S / 100 mols of E

    Basis: 100 mols of E

    Dry air balance: (1 – 0.03 - 0.02)(100) = 0.995(L)


    L = 95.5 mol
    Acetone recovered: 0.03(100) = 3 mols

    0.19(R ) = 3(58)

    R = 915.8 g

    Water balance

    S = 0.81(915.8) + 0.005(95.5)(18)

    S = 750.4 g
