    A double effect evaporator system concentrates a KOH solution from 15% to 40% solids. The first effect operates at 3000 W/m2K and the second at 1500 W/m2K. Each effect has 50 m2 of area. The feed enters at 25°C and steam at 150 kPa. Given these conditions and assuming heat capacity varies linearly with concentration, the document asks to calculate the feed rate.

    A double effect evaporator system connected for backward feeding is used to concentrate a KOH solution from 15% to 40%

    solids. The feed enters at 25oC and steam at 20oC and 150 kPa. The last effect is maintained at 54oC. Overall heat transfer coefficient is 3000 in the first effect and 1500 W/m2K in the second effect. The evaporator area is 50 m2 for each effect. Find the feed rate. Assume Cp of the feed as 4 KJ/kgK and varying with concentration.

    650 mm Hg vac Steam 200oC 150kPa

    U1= 3000 U2= 1500

    Cp varies linearly with concentration To get Cp knowing Cpo at xo : Cp = 1 - (1-Cpo) x/xo BTU/lb oF

    xL=.4

    xF=.15 TF= 25 oC
