QUIZ

You have to produce a fruit syrup that contains 5% strawberry pulp in water and for this it is fed in
a double evaporator that is fed in reverse. The solution is at 40ºC and is concentrated up to (your
age)% solids.
EEP ( ° C ) =1,78 x +6,22 x 2
KJ
Cp ( )
hKg
=4,19+2,35 x

Where X is the fraction of solids by weight.

The feed, is (the half of your age kg / hr), and is introduced to the second evaporator. The steam of
the first evaporator is at 784.54KPa. The pressure of the effect vapor effect 2 is 6.86 KPa. The heat
transfer coefficients are U1 = 2000 and U2 = 3000 W / m2 -K.

Determine:

a) The flow of the output product of effect 1

b) The area of the evaporators, assuming that both have the same area
c) The steam economy
