corresponding flow diagrams [3 Marks].
3. A continuously operated rotary drier is used to dry 12 kg min−1 of a starch-based food containing 25%
moisture (wet weight basis) to give a product containing 10% moisture. However, the drier cannot
handle feed material with a moisture content greater than 15% and therefore a proportion of dry product
must be recycled and mixed with the fresh feed [6 Marks].
A) Draw a labeled flow diagram for the process description.
B) Calculate the evaporation rate of the process description given above.
C) Calculate the recycle ratio of the process description given above.
4. Orange juice (with a mean heat capacity of 3.8 kJ kg−1 K−1) enters a heat exchanger at 12 oC with a
flow rate of 500 kg h−1. It is heated by water flowing at 0.11 kg s−1 and the water temperature falls from
80 to 30°C [2 Marks].
A) Draw a labeled flow diagram for the process description given above.
B) What is the final temperature of the orange juice? (Given: specific heat of water is
4.182KJ/kg. K))?
