Question: A solution containing 3 k g salt per 1 0 0 k g solution is evaporated to 1 5 % in an evaporator. The heat

A solution containing 3kg salt per 100kg solution is evaporated to 15% in an evaporator. The heat capacity of solution is 0.98kcalkg.C and that of the 15% solution is 0.90. The feed temperature is 20C and boiling point of solution in evaporator is 104C. It requires 540kcal to evaporate 1kg of water from the boiling solution. The steam gives up only its latent heat of vaporization, 525kcalkg. Find required steam per of feed and heat transferred to feed stream.
