Question: The 1 0 % NaOH solution is fed to the first unit of a three - effect evaporator at a temperature of 3 0 0

The 10% NaOH solution is fed to the first unit of a three-effect evaporator at a temperature of 300 K with a flow rate of 10 kg/s. the pressure in the third effect is 13.3 kN/m2 however, the NaOH taken from this effect is 40%. The heating temperature of the solution is 4.18 kJ/kg.K can be taken. The boiling point increase will not be neglected.The steam is saturated water vapor at a pressure of 205 kN/m2 and is fed to the first effect and the condensate is saturated. it is separated as a liquid. If the heating areas are equal, calculate the areas, temperature differences and steam consumption.
(U1=5kWm2.K)(U2=3.2kWm2.K)(U3=1.4kWm2.K)
