A food processing facility makes sweetened iced tea by feeding 1.00 kg H2O/min of water along with m1 kg of dry tea leaves/min into a brewer. From there, the leaves and water enter a filter that separates m2 kg of wet tea leaves/min from unsweetened tea. A 0.85 mass fraction of water leaves in the wet tea leaf stream along with 90.0% of the original mass of tea leaves. The unsweetened tea proceeds to a mixer where sugar is added. The sweetened tea enters a final filter where m4 kg of ice is added, and any undisolved sugar is removed in slurry that is 75.0% by mass sugar, 25.0% water. This slurry is recycled back to the mixer along with m3 kg of fresh sugar/min. The sweetened iced tea leaving the final filter is 10.0% by mass sugar, 89.0% by mass water (all of the added ice has melted), and 1.0% by mass extracts from the tea leaves. A flow rate of m5 kg of sweetened iced tea/min is desired. If m5 is 1.15 kg/min, what are the flow rates of dry tea leaves, fresh sugar, and ice required?
