PROBLEM 2<br>Freshly mined ore is to be cleaned so that later processing units are not contaminated with dirt. 3000 kg/h of dirty ore is<br>dumped into a large washer, in which water is allowed to soak the ore on its way to a drain at the bottom of the unit. The<br>solubility of dirt in water is estimated to be 0.4 g dirt/cm³ water (or 0.4 g dirt/g H,O, assuming that the water leaving the<br>washer is saturated with dirt). The amount of dirt remaining on the ore after this process is negligible, but water remains<br>absorbed on the ore surface such that the net mass flow rate of the cleaned ore is 3100 kg/h. The dirty water is cleaned in<br>settler, which is able to remove 90% of the dirt in the stream without removing significant amount of water. The cleaned<br>stream is then combined with a fresh water stream through a mixer before re-entering the washer. The wet, clean ore enters<br>a dryer, in which all of the water is removed. Dry ore is removed from the dryer at 2900 kg/h.<br>1. Draw a complete diagram of the whole process. Label all streams properly.<br>2. Perform a degree-of-freedom analysis.<br>3. Determine the mass flow rate of fresh water to achieve the significant removal of dirt from the freshly mined ore.<br>4. Calculate the mass of dirty water entering the settler per minute of operation.<br>5. Calculate the mass fraction of dirt in the stream that enters the washer (after it has been mixed with the freshwater<br>stream).<br>
