1)A reverse osmosis membrane unit concentrates a liquid food from 10 to 20% total solids by selectively removing water. If 100 lb/hr of feed is input to the membrane, how much concentrated product is produced?
2) 30kg of one component with 30% total solids is mixed with 200 kg of a material with 80%TS. How much of the final product is produced and what is its composition
3) 40lb of a raw material containing 15% alcohol and 1% sugar( the rest is water) is added to 50lb of another raw material containing 17% alcohol and 0.5%sugar. What is the composition of the mixed product?
4)It is desired to make a product containing 16.5% alcohol and 0.6 sugar. Can we use the two raw materials from the 3)? If so, how much of each should be added to make 100lb of the desired product?
