Boiling Points in a Triple-Effect Evaporator. A solution with a negligible boiling- point rise is being evaporated in a triple-effect evaporator using saturated steam at 121.1°C (394.3 K). The pressure in the vapor of the last effect is 25.6 kPa abs. The heat-transfer coefficients are U1 = 2840, U2 = 1988, and U3 = 1420 W/m² · K, the areas are equal. Estimate the boiling point in each of the evaporators.
Ans. T1 = 108.6°C (381.8 K)

      Evaporation of Sugar Solution in a Multiple-Effect Evaporator. A triple-effect evaporator with forward feed is evaporating a sugar solution with negligible boiling- point rise (less than 1.0 K, which will be neglected) and containing 5 wt% solids to 25% solids. Saturated steam at 205 kPa abs is being used. The pressure in the vapor space of the third effect is 13.65 kPa. The feed rate is 22 680 kg/h and the tempera- ture 299.9 K. The liquid heat capacity...

    Please could you answer all sub questions. A forward feed triple - effect evaporator is required to concentrate a 10% pineapple juice mixture from 5 to 70% using steam at 200 kN/m2 (gauge). The feed enters at 2 000 kg/hr at 303 K and the first effect is operated at 105 kN/m2 (gauge). Additional information: 1. The BPR's can be estimated from the following equation: BPR (°C) = 1,78 X + 6,22 X2: 2. The heat capacity of the solution...

    Q1. A double-effect evaporator is being used (in forward mode) to concentrate a sodium chloride solution from 4 to 20 weight %. The solution enters the first effect at 298K at a rate of 3000 kg/h, and saturated steam at a pressure of 1.5 bars is fed into a tube bundle in the Ist effect. The steam condenses at 1.5 bars and the condensate is withdrawn at the saturation temperature corresponding to this pressure. The pressure at the second effect...

For (a) juice and (b) paste, suggest proper evaporator and explain why you select it. 2. A double-effect forward-feed evaporator is used to evaporate a sugar solution containing Swt solids to a concentrated solution of 25 wt%. The boiling-point rise (BPR) of the solution (independent of pressure) can be estimated from BPRC-1.5x + 6x", where x is wt% of sugar in solution. Saturation steam...
