As a chemical engineer of a food processing plant, you are asked to conduct material balances for a process where oranges are the feed and the final product is 40 kg/hr. of powder of orange juice.
PROJECT: First, it is assumed that oranges contain in average 75% wt. of water, 10% of solids and the remaining are aroma substances and the weight of one orange is about 120 grams.
(1) Process Unit 1: From the filtration process, it is summed that only 90% of water and 85% of aroma of the oranges can be extracted as liquid from oranges. The rest is in the solid waste from oranges.
(2) Process Unit 2: In the evaporator, the dilute orange juice is now concentrated to contain only 25% water, the remaining being aroma substances. It is also assumed that 5% of the aroma of the feed has been wasted with the water vapor stream leaving the evaporator.
(3) Process Unit 3: The final step is a drying process where the dehydrated orange juice contains only 2% wt. of moisture and the remaining is aroma substances. It is also assumed that 3% of the aroma of the feed has been wasted with the water vapor stream leaving the dryer.
PROJECT CONTENT: I. DESIGN PROPOSAL
b. Flowchart representing the units, streams with all the known and unknown variables.

Acommercial grade cubical freezer, 4 m on a side, has a composite wall consisting of an exterior sheet of 5.0-mm thick plain carbon steel (kst= 60.5 w/m k), an intermediate layer of 100-mm thick polyurethane insulation (kins 0.02 w/m k), and an inner sheet of 5.0- mm thick aluminium alloy (kal polyurethane insulation and both metallic sheets are each characterized by a thermal contact resistance of r 2.5 x 104 m2 k/w. (a) what is the steady-state cooling load that must be maintained by the refrigerator under conditions for which the outer and inner surface temperatures are 25°c and -5°c, respectively? (b) for power saving purpose, which wall material should be increased/reduced in. thickness in order to reduce 50% of the cooling load found in part (a)? redesign the thickness of the proposed material. 177 w/m-k). adhesive interfaces between the q=575.93 w

Consider airflow over a flat plate of length l = 1.5 m under conditions for which transition occurs at le = 0.9 m based on the critical reynolds number, re, e = 5 x 10. evaluating the thermophysical properties of air at 400 k, determine the air velocity. (hint: use the tables to find the properties of air)
