4-1. Heat-Transfer Coefficient in Single-Effect Evaporator. A feed of 4535kg / h of a 2.0 wt % salt solution at 311K enters continuously a single-effect evaporator and is being concentrated to 3.0%. The evaporation is at atmospheric pressure and the area of the evaporator is 69.7m^2. Satrated steam at 383.2K is supplied for heating. Since the solution is dilute, it can be assumed to have the same boiling point as water. The heat capacity of the feed can be taken as c_p=4.10kJ / kgK. Calculate the amounts of vapor and liquid product and the overall heat-transfer coefficient U
