A single-effect evaporator concentrates 4.00 kg/s of a 10% by mass solution of H2SO4. The entering feed is at 25 °C. The vapor released at the top has a mass flow rate of 3.20 kg/s. The evaporator operates at a total pressure of 30.2 kPa at 90 °C. What is the rate of heat transfer in the evaporator? Use a steam table for the enthalpy of the vapor?
