Question: A triple effect parallel feed evaporator is fed at 2 0 0 0 0 k g h of an aqueous organic solution contains 7 mass

A triple effect parallel feed evaporator is fed at 20000kgh of an aqueous organic solution contains 7 mass% solids. The temperature of the feed is 27C and the feed split on a 40:30:30 basis. The final products must contain 30% solids. The fresh saturated steam enters the first effect at 180 kPa (abs) while the third effect is operated at 20 kPa (abs). The flow rate of the steam is 5000kgh. It can be assumed that the BPR's can be neglected. The heat capacity can be assumed to be constant for all liquids at 4.19kJkg. K. The overall heat transfer coefficients in each effect are: U1=2930;U2=2326 and U3=1744.5 W/m^2.K. Determine:
Do only one iteration.
Draw flowsheet for this process.
The flow rates of vapour and liquid streams for each evaporator.
