Question: Problem 3) A feed solution of 10,000 lbm at 130F containing 47.0 lb FeSO4/100 lb total water is cooled to 80F, where FeSO4.7HO crystals

Problem 3) A feed solution of 10,000 lbm at 130F containing 47.0 lb FeSO4/100 lb total water is cooled to 80F, where FeSO4.7HO crystals are removed. The solubility of the salt is 30.5 lb FeSO4/100 lb total water. The average heat capacity of the feed solution is 0.70 btu/lbm F. The heat of solution at 18C is -4.4 kcal/gmol FeSO4 7HO. Calculate the yield of crystals and perform a heat balance. Assume that no water is evaporated.
