A (16.3 lbm/gal) mud is entering a centrifugal at a rate of (15.8 gal/min) along with (8.3 lbm/gal) dilution water which enters the centrifuge at a rate of (10.1 gal/min). The density of the centrifuge underflow is (23.5 lbm/gal) while the density of the centrifuge overflow is (9.8 lbm/gal). The mud contains (23.5 lbm/bbl) Wyoming bentonite and (6.4 lbm/bbl) deflocculant. Compute the rate at which Wyoming bentonite, deflocculant, water and API barite should be added to the mixing pit to maintain the mud properties constant
