    461.54 kg/h

    Explanation:

    First lets calculate the mass flow of the dry product:

    Md=1000 kg/h * (1-0.58) = 420 kg/h

    The mass flow of the moist final product is then:

    Mm = 420 kg/h / (1-0.22) = 538.46 kg/h

    The water to be evaporated is then the difference between the feed and the product.

    W = 1000 kg/h - 538.46 kg/h = 461.54 kg/h
