Fresh orange juice contains approximately 10.0 wt% solids (sugar, citric acid and other indigenous ingredients) and frozen concentrate contains approximately 42.0 wt% solids. The frozen concentrate is obtained by evaporating water from the fresh juice to produce a mixture that is approximately 61.0 wt% solids. However, so that the flavor of the concentrate will closely approximate that of fresh juice, the concentrate from the evaporator is blended with fresh orange juice (and other minor additives) to produce a final concentrate that is approximately 42.0 wt% solids. Assume a basis of 100.0 kg of fresh juice fed to the process.

What is the mass of final concentrate produced? kg

What is the fraction of fresh juice that bypasses the evaporator?

    Fresh orange juice containing 75.0 wt% water and the balance solids is concentrated in an evaporator. In order to improve the taste of the orange juice, a fraction of the feed stream is diverted around the evaporator as a bypass stream and mixed with the outlet stream from the evaporator. The combined product stream (= outlet stream from evaporator + bypass) contains 65 wt% solids and the balance water. Ninety percent of the water in the feed entering the evaporator...

    please solve this questuon Fresh orange juice contains 13% solids and rest water. It is concentrated to contain 45% solids. In the present process, the evaporator is bypassed with a fraction of fresh juice. Juice that enters the evaporator is concentrated to 60% solids and is mixed with bypass juice to achieve the desired final concentration. Calculate the amount of final juice per kg of fresh juice fed to the process and the fraction of the feed in percentage that...
