The popularity of orange juice, especially as a breakfast drink, makes this beverage an important factor in the economy of orange-growing regions. most marketed juice is concentrated and frozen and then reconstituted before consumption, and some is "not-from-concentrate." although concentrated juices are less popular in the united states than they were at one time, they still have a major segment of the market for orange juice. the approaches to concentrating orange juice include evaporation, freeze concentration, and reverse osmosis. here we examine the evaporation process by focusing only on two constituents in the juice solids and water. fresh orange juice contains approximately 10 wt% solids (sugar, citric acid, and other ingredients) and frozen concentrate contains approximately 42 wt% solids. the frozen concentrate is obtained by evaporating water from the fresh juice to produce a mixture that is approximately 65 wt% solids. however, so that the flavor of the concentrate will closely approximate that of fresh juice, the concentrate from the evaporator is blended with fresh orange juice (and other additives) to produce a final concentrate that is approximately 42 wt% solids. (a) label the flowchart of this process, neglecting the vaporization of everything in the juice but water first prove that the subsystem containing the point where the bypass stream splits off from the evaporator feed has one degree of freedom. (if you think it has zero degrees, try determining the unknown variables associated with this system.) then perform the degree-of freedom analysis for the overall system, the evaporator, and the bypass-evaporator product mixing point, and write in order the equations you would solve to determine all unknown stream variables. in each equation, circle the variable for which you would solve, but don't do any calculations. (b) calculate the amount of product (42% concentrate) produced per 100 kg fresh juice fed to the process and the fraction of the feed that bypasses the evaporator. bypass mising point evaporator

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
