Q 1. A continuous single-effect evaporator (shown below) concentrates 9072 kg/h of a

1.0 wt % salt solution entering at 38ºC to a final concentration of 1.5 wt %. The vapor
space of the evaporator is at 101.325 kPa (1.0 atm abs) and the steam supplied is
saturated at 150 kPa. Perform the following:

1. Obtain L and V.

F = L +V Þ 90972 = L + V
FxF = xF L Þ (9072)(0.01) = (0.015)L
L = 6048 kg / h
V = 3024 kg / h

FCP DT + SlS (@383) = V(HV - H L )(@373)

2. Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient U, given that the area available for heat
transfer is 130.9 m2 and the steam provided is 3713 kg/h.

q = UADT = SlS = S(H S - hS )

(U)(130.9)(111.4 -100) = 3713(2693.1- 467.13)
U = 1538.5W / m 2 .K
