A continuous membrane filtration process is being used to separate components A and B into a product stream that is mostly A and a waste stream that is primarily B. The feed stream (containing A and B) enters the process at a flow rate F of 100 kg/hr. The composition of this feed stream is 40% A and 60% B by mass. The product stream P being removed from the process has a composition of 90% A, whereas the waste stream W leaving the process has a composition of 2% A. a) Draw a diagram and label the streams and ecomponents. b) Calculate the mass flow rates of the product and waste streams. c) Determine the fraction (by mass) of the component A fed to the process that is separated as product.
