Answer

$\dot{m}_{ash}=0.01\ kg/s=315360 kg/year$ $\dot{m}_{gas}=9.99\ kg/s$

Work Step by Step

Assuming 100% efficiency in the separation: $\dot{m}_{ash}=x_{ash}\dot{m}_t$ $x_{ash}=0.001, \dot{m}_t=10 kg/s$ $\dot{m}_{ash}=0.01\ kg/s$ $\dot{m}_{ash}+\dot{m}_{gas}=\dot{m}_t$ $\dot{m}_{gas}=9.99\ kg/s$ Over an year: $m_{ash}=\dot{m}_{ash}\Delta t=315360 kg$
