Question: In a burning process, 1 4 6 5 k g of wood containing 4 3 % moisture ( by weight ) is fed into processes.
In a burning process, of wood containing moisture by weight is fed into processes.
Initially, all of the moisture content was removed in a dryer at After that, a reactor for burning is
used. The burning reaction creates three main products: charcoal, oil, and gas. The composition of these
products is as follows: Charcoal: of the feedstock mass; Oil: of the feedstock mass; gas: the
remaining feedstock mass.
The onethird of the charcoal is used as fertilizer in agricultural applications. The remaining part is sent to
a furnace for the graphitizing process, which is carried out at for hours under an Argon
atmosphere. It is known that the yield of the final process is
Using the information above,
a Draw a flowsheet with details indicating the amounts, streams, and units.
b Mass of moisture in the feedstock.
c Mass of dry wood fed into the burning reactor.
d Mass of each burning product charcoal oil, and gas produced.
e Total mass of burning products.
f Mass percentage of each product due to the total mass of burning products
g Mass of finally obtained graphite.
