Question: 5 0 % concentrated solution from 5 % sugar solution fed to the film type evaporator with a flow rate of 5 0 0 0

50% concentrated solution from 5% sugar solution fed to the film type evaporator with a flow rate of 5000 kg/h
solution is obtained. 120\deg C as heating steam to evaporate the water in the solution.
saturated steam is used. At the end of the process, the heating steam comes out of the evaporator into saturated liquid.
It comes out as . The solution boils at 105\deg C and the evaporator economy is 85%. Total heat
transfer coefficient 1875 W/m2
Since .K, find the required heat transfer area.
Saturated vapor enthalpy at 120\deg C: 2706 kJ/kg
Saturated liquid enthalpy at 120\deg C: 504 kJ/kg
NOTE: Evaporator economy (E)=Evaporated solution (V, kg/h)/ heating steam (S, kg/h)
