Question: Question 1 . A forward - feed double - effect evaporator is used to concentrate of 1 0 % caustic soda ( NaOH ) solution

Question 1. A forward-feed double-effect evaporator is used to concentrate of 10% caustic soda ( NaOH ) solution to 50% solid at 310 K . After the first effect, the solution is concentrated to 20% solid. The overall heat transfer coefficients are 2.8kWm2.K and 1.7kWm2.K, respectively. Saturated steam is fed into the first effect at 360kNm2 and at a rate of 4kgs. The second effect is operated at 13.5kNm2. Specific heat for all of solution and saturated steam can be taken as 4.187kJkg and 1.84kJkg, respectively. If the boilingpoint rise (BPR) is important, determine the feed flow rate (F), vapor production rate (V1,V2), and required heat transfer areas (A1,A2).
(Hint: There is no need to make any further correction for T adjustment)
