Question: A feed stream flowing at 1 0 0 0 k g h contains 2 0 w t % K N O 3 and 8 0

A feed stream flowing at 1000kgh contains 20wt%KNO3 and 80wt%H2O. The stream enters an evaporator - crystallizer/filter process to produce a solid product that contains 4wt%H2O. The evaporator produced a mixture that contains equal amounts of the 2 components. The liquid stream from the crystallizer/filter unit, consisting of 0.6kgKNO3kgH2O, is recycled. Draw and label the process flowchart and calculate the recycle to fresh feed ratio.
