PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: (the last digit of my ID number is 9 so you will be using that for the calculations)
PLease show the work very neatly and very detailed so I can understand everything
A simplified flowchart of a continuous process for the microencapsulation of beta cells is shown below. There are two inputs to the microencapsulation system: the aqueous cell solution and aqueous alginate solution. The outputs are the solid alginate hydrogel microcapsules (containing beta cells, alginate and water) and a supernatant solution (also with beta cells, alginate and water) The process is at steady-state and there are no chemical reactions occurring. The aqueous cell solution input (the Feed) has 10.2mg beta cells /mL dissolved in water (no alginate) and its specific gravity is 1.02. The aqueous alginate solution input contains 6 mass % alginate dissolved in water (no beta cells). The mass flow rates of the input cell solution and input alginate solution are equal. The microcapsules contain 9mg beta cells /g,5 mass \% alginate and the rest water. The mass flow rate of the output supernatant solution is 1.5 times that of the mass flowrate of the microcapsules. It is desired to produce A0g/min of the microcapsules, where A is the last digit of your ASU ID. For example, if your ASU ID is 1212012345 , then A=5 and A0g/min=50g/min. If the last digit of your ASU ID is 0, use A0g/min=100g/min(m) a. Draw and label a flowchart for the process, following how we make them in class. (The one given above is not completely labeled) Note: Please redraw the flowchart by hand. Cutting-and-pasting the above diagram will not be graded b. Write all the possible Material Balance equations applicable to the system in (a). c. Carry out a degree-of-freedom analysis for the system in (a). (Hint: The cells can be considered as one chemical species) d. Solve for all of the unknowns. e. Determine what percent of the beta cells in the feed is left in the output supernatant solution. f. The laboratory process is to be commercialized to produce 20kg/h of product microcapsules. What is the scaling factor? g. For (f), determine the required mass flow rates of the feed in kg/h
