Fruit juices at 20 ° C containing 5% total solids were concentrated via a single effect evaporator. The evaporator is operated in a vacuum at an evaporation temperature of 80 ° C, and 85% quality steam is supplied at 169.06 kPa. The desired concentration of the final product is 40% total solids. The rate of concentrated product leaving the evaporator is 2000 kg / hour. The specific heat of fruit juice is 4.05 kJ / (kg ° C), and the concentrated product is 3,175 kJ / (kg ° C). Count a. The required steam rate is = Answer kg / hour. b. Steam economy when the condensate temperature is released at 90 ° C. = Answer (kg of water evaporated / kg of steam)
