Question
14.9. A forward feed double-effect vertical
evaporator, with equal heating areas in
each effect, is fed with 5 kg/s of a liquor
of specific heat capacity of 4.18 kJ/kg K.
and with no boiling point rise, so that 50
per cent of the feed liquor is evaporated.
The overall heat transfer coefficient in the
second effect is 75 per cent of that in the
first effect. Steam is fed at 395 K and the
boiling point in the second effect is 373 K.
The feed is heated by an external heater to
the boiling point in the first effect.
It is decided to bleed off 0.25 kg/s of
vapour from the vapour line to the second
effect for use in another process. If the
feed is still heated to the boiling point of
the first effect by external means, what
will be the change in steam consumption
of the evaporator unit? For the purpose of
calculation, the latent heat of the vapours
and of the steam may both be taken as
2230 kJ/kg
