2. The William A. Brookshire Food Products Branch has a plant in Kinston, NC, that
produces concentrated sugary syrups. These syrups are used for a variety of products,
such as snow cone mixes and sugar crystal mixes. Their plant requires that the final
sugary syrup product contain a total of 45% by wt. sugary syrup concentrate. During the
process, a 1000 lb/hr feed stream with 11 wt% concentrate is sent to an evaporator,
where the sugary syrup exits at 66.5 wt% concentrate. This is \"above spec,\" so a new
engineer, a University of Houston graduate, decided to install a bypass around the
evaporator to reduce the percentage of concentrate in the corn syrup to the final
concentration.
a. Draw a schematic of the process
b. Calculate the mass flow rates in pounds/hr of the a) by-pass stream, b) the final
product stream
