Question: A feed containing 3 wt% sugar is fed into a double-effect feedback evaporator. The feed enters the system at 45C and is concentrated to 25

A feed containing 3 wt% sugar is fed into a double-effect feedback evaporator. The feed enters the system at 45C and is concentrated to 25 wt% sugar content. is recognized. The boiling point rise of the solution is negligible is considered. Each effect has a surface area of 93 m2 and collective heat transfer coefficients U1= 2835.3 W/m2K and U2=3969.4 W/m2K. 689.3 kPa absolute pressure saturated vapor first is fed as a heating medium to the second plant and the evaporation absolute pressure in the second plant is 6.75 kPa. The heat capacity of all solutions is considered equal to the heat capacity of water. Feeding Calculate the flow rate (kg/h) and the flow rate (kg/h) of the product containing 25% KM. (The solution of the problem will be done by trial and error method. Initial feed flow rate 454 can be taken as kg/h and the experiment can be started) Note: Write clearly all the operations you have done in solving the problem and schematize the system.
