    The document describes three problems related to mixing processes and mass balances. Problem 1 involves adding saturated salt solution to tomato juice to achieve 2% salt in the product. Problem 2 is determining the mass of each wine needed to blend three wines to achieve a target alcohol and sugar content. Problem 3 calculates the time required for a waste treatment tank to reach a minimum cell concentration given inlet and outlet flows.

    Problems Solution

    S 26% salt

    Tomato juice flowing through a pipe at a rate of


    100 kg/min is salted by adding saturated salt solution I P
    (26% salt) to the pipeline at a constant rate. At what rate Mixer
    should the saturated salt solution be added to provide 2% 100 kg/min 2% salt
    salt in the product?

    Solve for the amount of S to be added to the system.

    Solution Solution
    Overall balance: Solve for P using component balance
    input =output + accumulation
    P = 0.26/0.02 [S]
    I + S = P units are kg/min
    Substitute into overall balance and find S
    Salt balance:
    100 + S = 0.26/0.02 [S]
    xsS = xPP kg of salt/min.
    S = 8.33 kg/min

    Problem 2 Solution to Problem 2


    A winery produces a uniform sherry by blending three
    wines with different alcohol and sugar contents. Given
    the compositions of the three wines and the blend A
    (product) below, determine the mass of each wine in the
    B S
    blend.
    BLENDER
    Mass % alcohol Mass % sugar C
    Wine A 14.6 0.2
    Wine B 16.7 1.0
    Wine C 17.0 12.0
    Blend 16.0 3.0

    Soln. to problem 2 – page2 Soln. to problem 2 – page 3
    Overall balance: input = output (accumulation = 0) A + B + C = 100 kg
    A + B + C = S [all units in kg]
    0.146 A + 0.167 B + 0.17 C = 16 kg
    Component balances:
    0.02 A + 0.01 B + 0.12 C = 3 kg
    Alcohol (x) : xAA + xBB + xCC = xSS kg alcohol

    Sugar (y) : yAA + yBB + yCC = ySS kg sugar A = 35.47 kg


    B = 49.57 kg
    C = 14.95 kg
    Note: 3 equations and 4 unknowns, choose a basis
    let S = 100 kg

    Problem 3 Solution to problem 3


    You have a 4,000,000 liter waste treatment tank with 2000 Solve for the time required to reach a cell mass of 1000 ppm
    parts-per-million biological cells suspended in the water. Wastewater
    enters the tank and flows to the over the opposite side. The inlet flow
    rate is 20,000 kg/hr. The tank can be considered well stirred. Diagram:
    Normally the biological cells that exit the waste treatment tank are F P
    returned, however the return system has failed. If you can adequately
    treat the wastewater as long as you have at least 1000 part-per-million Waste Treatment Tank
    cells in the waste treatment tank. How long can you successfully treat
    the wastewater?
    The density of the wastewater is 1000 kg/m3 and is the same as the Given: F = P = 20,000 kg/hr ppm = kg dry cell
    density of the water and cells in the waste treatment tank. (part-per- V = 4,000,000 L 1,000,000 kg water
    million = kg dry cell material/1,000,000 kg water). You can ignore cell  = 1000 kg/m3
    generation for this problem. x at t=0 is = 2000 ppm
