Follow the steps of the Systematic Approach of Section 14.4—that is, (1) identify the system, (2) determine whether the process is batch or rate, (3) construct a schematic diagram with inputs and outputs, (4) Label known material quantities or rates of flow and so on. Ether is used in the process of extracting cod-liver oil from livers. Livers enter the extractor at a rate of 1 500 lbm/h and consist of 32 percent oil and 68 percent inert material. The solvent is introduced to the extractor at a rate of 3 100 lbm/h and consists of 2.80 percent oil and 97.2 percent ether. The cod-liver oil extract leaves the process at a rate of 2 600 lbm/h and consists of 21 percent oil and 79 percent ether. Calculate the flow rate and composition of the leaving processed livers.
