Question: A single effect evaporator is required to concentrate a solution of 1 0 % solids to 2 5 % solids at the rate of 2

A single effect evaporator is required to concentrate a solution of 10% solids to 25% solids at the rate of 200 kg of feed per hour. Steam is used as a heat source to provide 224,000 kJ/h energy to the solution before it leaves as condensed steam water at 81 C. If 200,000 kJ/h latent heat is required to evaporate the water from the original solution, how much energy per hour is needed to heat the original solution before evaporation occurs?
