Material Balance, Water removal
A 2000 kg batch of pharmaceutical-grade powder containing 7.5% by weight water is dried in a drier.
After drying, 95% of the water that enters with the wet powder will have been removed from the powder.
a. Draw a diagram of the process. Label ALL streams and indicate stream compositions. Use proper
notations and units.
b. State a basis.
c. Perform an overall material balance and a material balance for each species.
d. Calculate the final batch composition in wt.%
e. Calculate the final weight of the dried powder (lbm) and the weight of the water removed (lbm).

A pharmaceutical product is crystallized and washed with absolute ethanol. A 100 kg batch of product containing 10% ethanol by weight is to be dried to 0.1% ethanol by weight by passing 0.2 m3/min of 50�C nitrogen through the dryer. Estimate the rate (mol/min) that ethanol is removed from the crystals, assuming that ethanol exerts the same vapor pressure as if it were pure liquid. Based on this assumption, estimate the residence time for the crystals in the dryer. The...

In a pharmaceutical application distilled water with a flow rate of 34560 kg/hr is to cool ethyl alcohol in a parallel flow heat exchanger. The alcohol flowing at 31320 kg/hr enters the exchanger at 75oC and is cooled to 45oC. Assuming that the water flows through the tubes and enters the exchanger at 15oC, determine, for an overall heat transfer coefficient of 0.5kW/m2K the dissipation rate, together with the required heat transfer area. The specific heat capacity of both the...

Find the weight (in kg) of cement, water, flyash, fine and coarse aggregate to produce a cement/flyash mix for pumped concrete, using the British Method that has a characteristic 28-day compressive strength of 45 MPa. One hundred laboratory test results on the controlling mix show a standard deviation of 5.3 MPa (k=1.65). The exposure classification for durability purposes is A2 and the conditions require a fly ash/ high early strength cement blend (with a 40% proportion of fly ash). The...
