Question: 7 . 2 0 % ( by wt . ) solution of sodium hydroxide to a 5 0 % solution. The dilute solution at 1

7.20%(by wt.) solution of sodium hydroxide to a 50% solution. The dilute solution at 1093 deg C is to be fed to the evaporator at the rate of 18143 Kg/hr. for heating purposes; a saturated steam at 10o C is used. Sufficient condenser area is available to maintain a pressure of 667 Kg/M2 in the vapor space of the evaporator. On the basis of overall heat transfer coefficients of 300 kilocalorie / hour/ square meter/\deg C. Compute a) Heating area required. b) Steam consumption and steam economy.
