A dilute solution is subjected to flash distillation. The solution is heated in a heat exchanger and then flashes in a vacuum vessel. If heat at a rate of 270000 kJ/h is transferred to the 50,9 kglh solution in the heat exchanger, calculate; vepor a. The temperature of the solution at the exit of the heat exchanger. b. The amount of overhead vapor and residual liquid leaving the vacuum vessel. The following data are given: Flow rate and temperature of the solution at the inlet of the heat exchanger is 1000 kg/h and 50\deg C, heat capacity of the solution is 3.8 kJ/kg\deg C, and absolute pressure in the vacuum vessel is 70.14 kPa.
