An evaporator is concentrating solutions from the two different sources. The solution from the firstsource containing 20% NaCl and 15% NaOH, flows at the rate of 40 kg/min. The other solutioncontaining 8% NaCl and 12% NaOH flows at the rate of 70 kg/min. The two streams are feddirectly to the evaporator. In this process, 60% of the water evaporated. In order to obtain thedesired concentration, 80% of NaOH and 65% of NaCl were recycled. However, 20% of H2O wasmixed on the recycle stream; to avoid this, purging of H2O must be done. If 30 % of the remainingwater goes to the purge and the rest to the product, calculate the composition of NaOH and NaCl inthe recycle stream and the product in the evaporator.
the prodcut in the evaporator will be after the mixting with recylcing and after evaporataion
