Question 5(20 pts). An evaporator and a crystallizer are used to crystallize 10000kghr20 wt.%KNO3 solution (F). The evaporator works at 300F and the amount of pure water it evaporates every hour is shown with W. The KNO3 solution which exits evaporator contains 50 wt.%KNO3 and its flowrate is shown with M. This solution enters the crystallizer unit and the flowrate of produced KNO3 crystals in this unit which also contain water is shown with C and they contain 4 wt.% water and balance KNO3. The recycle stream (R) from crystallizer unit to evaporator, is a saturated solution at 100F with a ratio of 0.6kgKNO3kg water.
a) Draw and label the flowchart of the process and perform degrees of freedom analyses.
b) Calculate the quantity of recycle stream in kghr.
