Question: A solution containing 3 % solids at a temperature of 1 8 . 5 C will be concentrated to 1 8 % in a single

A solution containing 3% solids at a temperature of 18.5 C will be concentrated to 18% in a single-stage evaporator with a heating area of 42 m^2 and a total heat transfer coefficient of 2000 w/m^2. The heat used is 200 lpa and the saturation temperature of the water is 120.2 C. The boiling temperature in the evaporator is 60.1 C. Answer using the following information: vapor enthalpy of the steam =65 kj/kg condensate enthalpy of the steam =505 kj/kg atmospheric pressure =101.3 kpa enthalpy of the feed 65 kj/kg solvent vapor enthalpy =2619 kj/kg concentrated enthalpy at the evaporation temperature =272 kj/kg 1- draw a schematic evaporator shape and show the data on the figure 2- calculate the required steam amount in kg/second (ignore the boiling increase 3- find the amounts of the dilute solution fed to the evaporator, the evaporated solvent and the resulting concentrated solution in kg/second
