A single effect evaporator is used to concentrate 10 000 kg / hr of tomato juice from 5% total solids to 30% total solids. The juice enters the evaporator at 15 ° C. The evaporator is operated on Steam (80% quality) at 143.27 kPa. The vacuum in the evaporator allows the juice to boil at 75 ° C. The specific heat of the dilute material is 4.1 kJ / (kg ° C) and the concentrate product is 3.1 kJ / (kg ° C). Count it (a) Steam demand rate = kg / hour. b. Steam economy when condensate temperature is released at 75 ° C. = (kg of water evaporated / kg of steam
