Q5) Draw a diagram and set up a total mass and component balance equation for a crystallizer where 100kg of a concentrated sugar solution containing 85% sucrose and 1% inert, watersoluble impurities enters. Upon cooling, the sugar crystallizes from solution. A centrifuge then separates the crystals from a liquid fraction, called the mother liquor. The crystal slurry fraction has, for 20% of its weight, a liquid having the same composition as the mother liquor. The mother liquor contains 60% sucrose by weight. (Mother Liquor=21.9 kg & Crystals=78.1 kg)
