System: overall
Total mass balance: 100=m2+m4+m5
Component mass balance:
B: (0.3)(100)=(0.944) m2+x4m4+x5m5
T:(o.55)(100)=0.0454) m2+(0.946) m4+(1-0.776-x5) m5
X:(0.15)(100)=(0.0106) m2+(1-0.946-x4)m4+(0.776) m5
Relations:
(0.92)*(0.55)*(100)=0.946*m4m4=53.488 Kg/h
(0.92)*(0.15)*(100)=0.776*m5m5=17.90 Kg/h

Basis:100 moles
System: overall process
Over all material balance:
100 = n6+n4
DMF component balance:
0.55(100)= n6+0.1 n4
N4=50 mole, n6= 50 mole
System : purifier
Total mass balance : n2= n6+n3
DMF balance: : x2 n2= n6+n3*(0.1)
Relation: n6=2/3 n5 x2 50=2/3n2 x2 n2 x2=75
From equation(1) 75 = 50+n3 (0.1)n3= 250
System splitter
n3= n5+ n4 250 = n5+50n5= 200mole

b) The number of oranges per year that can be
processed with this process if it is run 8 hours
a day and 360 days a year. Ignore changes due
to unsteady state at startup.
Data used: Mass of an orange:0.4 kg, water
content of orange:80%, Density of the solids:
Since it is mostly sugars, it is about the
density of glucose = 1.54 g/cm3
