Question

Calculate the surface area and steam consumption

A forward feed triple effect evaporator is used to fed 13608 kg/hr of NaOH solution containing 10 wt% solute. The entering feed temperature is 37.8°C. It is to be concentrated to a 50% NaOH solution. The steam used to enter at 58.6 kPa gage. The absolute pressure in the vapor space the third effect is 6.76 kPa. The heat transfer coefficient are U;=6246, U.=3407, and Uz=2271 W/m²K. All effects must have the same area. Calculate the surface area and steam consumption (Hint: Assume no BPR at 1st and 2nd effect)
