Question
A single-effect evaporator is being used to concentrate 10,000 kg/h of tomato juice from 5% total solids to 30% total solids. The juice enters the evaporator at 15°C. The evaporator is operated with steam (80% quality) at 143.27 kPa. The vacuum inside the evaporator allows the juice to boil at 75°C. Calculate (a) the steam requirements and (b) steam economy for the process. Assume the condensate is discharged at 75°C. The specific heat of the liquid feed is 4.1kJ/(kg°C) and the concentrated product is 3.1kJ/(kg°C).

The battery is initially at a temperature of 21°C. The fully charged battery is then discharged for half an hour under adiabatic conditions (no heat leaves the system). During the half hour of being discharged, the electric current from the battery does 200 kJ of work external to the battery system (none of this external work heats the battery). During this half hour, 0.001 kmol of both reactants are consumed in the net cell discharge reaction: Please see the following table for heat capacities and heats of formation. The heats of formation below show the amount of energy (kJ) needed to form one kmole of each component. If the heat of formation is negative, then forming that species releases energy (to do work or provide heat). Therefore, to create one kmole of silver oxide 29000 kJ energy is released and is generated in the battery (for work or heat), and if one kmole of silver oxide decomposes…arrow_forward
