Question: Sheet 2 : Evaporation A single - effect evaporator is used to concentrate 7 k g s of a solution from 1 0 to 5

Sheet 2: Evaporation
A single-effect evaporator is used to concentrate 7kgs of a solution from 10 to 50 percent of solids. Steam is available at 205kNm2 and evaporation takes place at 13.5kNm2. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 3kWm2.K, calculate the heating surface required and the amount of steam used if the feed to the evaporator is at 294K and the condensate leaves the heating space at 352.7K. The specific heat capacity of a 10 percent solution is 3.76kJkg. K, the specific heat capacity of a 50 percent solution is 3.14kJkg. K.
