make the solution with computer support (MATLAB, Excel, etc.).
P1. After the fresh feed solution of 10% trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4) by mass is mixed with the recycle
stream, it enters an evaporator and its water is removed until its concentration becomes 34%Na3PO4
by mass. This concentrated solution obtained is cooled to 20C in a crystallizer and 100kg of
Na3PO4*12H2O crystals are obtained per hour. While 10% of the saturated solution coming out of the
crystallizer is thrown out for cleaning purposes as purge stream, the remaining part is recycled and
mixed into the fresh feed stream fed to the system. Accordingly, calculate the following;
a) Mass of fresh feed sent to the system per hour,
b) The mass of the waste stream thrown out for cleaning purposes as purge stream,
c) Calculate the mass of evaporated water.
Note: The solubility of trisodium phosphate in 20C water is 11kgNa3PO4100kgH2O.
