Mass Balance
Feed = Oversize + Product + Undersize
Where
XF = mass fraction of desired chip size in the feed
Xo = mass fraction of desired chip size in the oversize
Xp = mass fraction of desired chip size in the product
XU = mass fraction of desired chip size in the undersize
Material Balance Data
INLET OUTLET
Feed = 787.40 kg/h Oversize = 137.80 kg/h
XF = 0.762 Product = 600 kg/h
Undersize = 49.60 kg/h
Xo = 0
Xp = 1.0
XU = 0

Through material balance, we get a feed rate of 787.40 kg/h to achieve a production rate of
600 kg/h. Using this information, we can now size the equipment.
