Question 3
A feed of 4360 kg/h of a 20wt % NaOH solution in water at 37.8°C enters
continuously a single-effect evaporator and is being concentrated to 40%. The
evaporation is at a pressure of 12.349 kPa (abs) and the heat transfer
coefficient is 1560 W/(m²K). Saturated steam at 232.1 kPa (abs) is supplied for
heating. (vapour heat capacity is 1.884 kJ/kg/K).
a)
b)
Calculate the heat transfer area and the steam economy.
For all operation conditions remain unchanged and the heat transfer
coefficient is constant, if the evaporation pressure is decreased, what will
the evaporator size change? Give the justification.
c)
For all operation conditions remain unchanged and the heat transfer
coefficient is constant, if the steam pressure is decreased, what will the
evaporator size change? Given the justification
