14.23. A double-effect forward-feed
evaporator is required to give a product
consisting of 30 per cent crystals and a
mother liquor containing 40 per cent by
mass of dissolved solids. Heat transfer
coefficients are 2.8 and 1.7 kW/m² K in the
first and second effects respectively. Dry
saturated steam is supplied at 375 kN/m²
and the condenser operates at 13.5 kN/
m².
(a) What area of heating surface is
required in each effect assuming the
effects are identical, if the feed rate is 0.6
kg/s of liquor, containing 20 per cent by
mass of dissolved solids, and the feed
temperature is 313 K?
(b) What is the pressure above the boiling
liquid in the first effect?
The specific heat capacity may be
taken as constant at 4.18 kJ/kg K. and
the effects of boiling-point rise and of
hydrostatic head may be neglected.
Example(2):
Double effect evaporator is used for
concentrating a certain caustic soda
solution 10000kg/hr from 9wt% to
47wt%. The feed at 30°C enters the
first evaporator. Backward arrangement
evaporators are used. steam is available at
167.7°C and the vapor space in the second
effect is 14.6Kpa.
The overall heat transfer coefficients of
the two effects are 8380 and 6285kcal/

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 Ад Oarrow_forward
