5. A single effect evaporator with a thermal load, Qe, of 26500 kJ/s and the heating steam temperature is 105 C is converted into a TVC system. The seawater temperature, Tcw, is 15 C and the feed seawater temperature, Tf, is less than the boiling temperature, Tb, by 5 C. The motive steam pressure 80 Chapter 3 Single Effect Evaporation - Vapor Compression is 10 bars. Calculate the performance ratio before and after turning the system into the TVC configuration. Also, calculate the heat transfer area of the evaporator and condenser. Note that turning the system from the single effect configuration to the TVC mode has no effect on effect on the heat transfer area
