50 kg of a tea mixture (moisture content, wet basis = 95%) is loaded into a kettle. After heating in the kettle, the tea mixture's moisture content (wet basis) is reduced to 93% due to evaporation while in the kettle. The tea mixture is then pumped to a centrifuge, where the tea mixture is separated into two separate streams, a solids-rich stream and a liquid-rich stream. The solids-rich stream contains 0.5 kg dry solids/kg total mass. The liquid-rich stream contains 0.0157 kg dry solids/kg total mass. What is the total mass of the liquid-rich stream (i.e., the final tea product)?
