6 - Question
What is the minimum solvent feed if feed is 200kg and the mass fraction of component A at feed is 0.7, at mixing is 0.5, and in the solvent is 0.4?
a) 400kg
b) 100kg
c) 200kg
d) 500kg
View Answer
Explanation: Since, Smin/F= (xa)F-(xA)M/(xa)M-(xA)S , then, Smin= 200*(0.7-0.5/0.5-0.4)=400kg.
7 - Question
What is the minimum solvent feed if feed is 200kg and the mass fraction of component A at feed is 0.7, at mixing is 0.6, and in the solvent is 0.4?
a) 400kg
b) 100kg
c) 200kg
d) 500kg
View Answer
Explanation: Since, Smin/F= (xa)F-(xA)M/(xa)M-(xA)S , then, Smin= 200*(0.6-0.5/0.5-0.4)=200kg.
8 - Question

a) 3800kg
b) 650kg
c) 750kg
d) 500kg
View Answer
Explanation: Since, Smin/F= (xa)F-(xA)M/(xa)M-(xA)S , then, Smin= 250*(0.8-0.5/0.5-0.4)=750kg.
9 - Question

a) 120kg
b) 720kg
c) 435kg
d) 180kg
View Answer
Explanation: Since, Smin/F= (xa)F-(xA)M/(xa)M-(xA)S , then, Smin= 360*(0.9-0.8/0.8-0.6)=180kg.
