Angela and Titus are trying to turn wood chips into a bio-based fuel. Two streams of wood chips enter a mixer. One stream contains fresh chips entering at 49.3kg/hr with 66.5 mass\% wood (C54H77.7O34.1) and the balance water (H2O). A second stream enters the mixer at 35.4kg/hr contains older chips with 73.6 mass\% wood and the balance water. The stream exiting the mixer is fed to a heater at 241F to dry the wood chips before entering a reactor (the reactor may be a topic of another problem). The stream of wood chips exiting the heater contain 14.9 mass\% water. A second stream of pure water vapor also exits the heater. Determine the following three unknowns. Total flow rate exiting the mixer = kg/hr Total flow rate of wood chips exiting in the heater = kg/hr Total flow rate of water vapor exiting the heater = kg/hr
