QUESTION:

Following is a labeled flowchart for a steady-state two-unit process, with boundaries shown to denote subsystems about which balances can be taken. State the maximum number of balances that can be written for each subsystem and the order in which you would write balances to determine the unknown process variables. (See Example 4.4-1.)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

Basis—Given Flow Rates

The systems about which balances might be written are shown on the following representation of the flowchart:

The outer boundary encompasses the entire process and has as input and output streams all of the streams that enter and leave the process. Two of the interior boundaries surround individual process units, and the third encloses a stream junction point.
