separation process step by step please.....clear and detail with diagram....hand written form please

A cooling crystallizer will be used to produce hydrated crystals of sodium sulfate as NaSO4 10H20 at a rate of 900 kg/h. A saturated aqueous solution of sodium sulfate (40 kg/100kg water) at 300K will be fed to the crystallizer, where it will be cooled to 290K with no evaporation. The solubility at 290K is 14kg/100kgwater. The mean heat capacity of the liquor can be assumed as 3.8kJ/kg.K. The heat of crystallization is 230kJ/kg crystals a) b) Establish the mass equivalence between the crystals and the salt using the molar equivalence and molecular weights (4marks) Determine the feed rate of sodium sulfate solution to meet the target crystal production using overall and sodium sulfate mass balances. (9 marks) Calculate the solid phase yield of solute as kg in crystal /kg in feed (3 marks) Determine the rate of total heat to be removed as the sum of rate of heat needed for crystallization and the rate of sensible heat to be removed from the feed (4 marks) c) d)
