The design calculation mass balance typically has few known values and many unknown values. These are typically encountered during plant design when the results of testwork and a flowsheet are the only known values. The purpose of a design mass balance is to calculate values for the unknown flows and compositions.

a) MASS BALANCE. The flow-rate of ore from your mine is 1000 t hr-1. This ore is crushed, and then milled. There is a single stage of milling, followed by a hydrocyclone. The hydrocyclone underflow is returned to the mill. 15% of the solids that leave the mill (and enter the hydrocyclone) go to the underflow and is recycled. Draw the flow diagram.
