Materials and Energy balances question about degrees of freedom

A solution of a pharmaceutical (P) and ethanol (E) is fed to a mixer, where it is combined with water (W) at 80 oC. This mixture of P/E/W is then fed to a settler, where the mixture is cooled to 4 oC. Most of the P leaves solution as a solid, where it is fed out of the settler with a small amount of E and W. Most of the E and W leave the settler as a separate liquid stream. How many possible system boundaries are available around which you may calculate degrees of freedom?

Explanation / Answer

For the given pharmaceutical (P) mixed with ethanol (E) intially with water (W) at 80 oC. The possible system boundaries under consideration for this particular calculation would be,
