Question: In a single - effect evaporator, a colloidal solution is derived from 5 % to 5 0 % by weight. The solution has an elevated

In a single-effect evaporator, a colloidal solution is derived from 5% to 50% by weight. The solution has an elevated boiling point. The heat capacity of the feed is Cp=4.06 kJ/kg.K and it enters the evaporator at 15.6 OC. Saturated water vapor at 101.32 kPa is used for heating and the pressure in the steam section of the evaporator is 15.3 kPa. The total flow rate of the solution to be evaporated is 4536 kg water/hour. The entire heat dissipation is 1988 W/m2.
a)Calculate the thermal break surface modifier. (m2)
b)Take into account water vapor consumption
