Question: A 2 4 0 0 k g h salt solution at 2 5 C is to be concentrated from 2 w t . % to

A 2400kgh salt solution at 25C is to be concentrated from 2wt.% to 3wt.%, in a continuous single effect evaporator. If the evaporator is operated at atmospheric pressure and steam is supplied at 115C with a latent heat of 2217kJkg. Estimate the:
i. Mass flow rate of the liquid product
ii. Mass flow rate of the vapour product
iii. Mass flow rate of the steam (assume that the specific heat capacity of the feed =4.1kJkg*K, and the latent heat of water at 373K=2257kJkg.)
 A 2400kgh salt solution at 25C is to be concentrated from
