A triple effect forward feed evaporator concentrates a sugar solution from 8 mass %
to 35%. The feed enters at 30000kgh at 27C and the pressure in the vapour space
of the third effect is 16 kPa . Fresh saturated steam is available at 205 kPa . The liquid
heat capacity is given by Cp=4.19-2.55(kJkg.K) where x is the mass fraction of
sugar. It can be assumed that the BPR's can be neglected. The overall heat transfer
coefficients are: U1=3.123;U2=1.987 and U3=1.136kWm2.K.
1.4. Determine the heat balance around each evaporator.
