A tubular water blancher is being used to process lima beams ( Fig. E1.13 ). The product mass flow rate is 860 kg/h. It is found that the theoretical energy consumed for the blanching process amounts to 1.19 GJ/h. The energy lost due to lack of insulation around the blancher is estimated to be 0.24 GJ/h. If the total energy input to the blancher is 2.71 GJ/h,

a. Calculate the energy required to reheat water.

b. Determine the percent energy associated with each stream.
