Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Horsepower is 20 HP.

Armature voltage rating is 500 V

Solution:

Refer Table 430.247 “Full Load Current in Amperes, Direct Current Motors” from page 368 and obtain the full load current in amperes corresponding to the horsepower of 20 HP and the armature voltage rating of 500V as follows:

  Full load current=34.0 A

Thus, the full load running current of the motor is 34 A.

14.10. A liquor containing 15 per cent solids is concentrated to 55 per cent solids in a double-effect evaporator. operating at a pressure in the second effect of 18 kN/m². No crystals are formed. The flowrate of feed is 2.5 kg/ s at 375 K with a specific heat capacity of 3.75 kJ/kg K. The boiling-point rise of the concentrated liquor is 6 deg K and the steam fed to the first effect is at 240 kN/ m². The overall heat transfer coefficients in the first and second effects are 1.8 and 0.63 kW/m²K. respectively. If the heat transfer area is to be the same in each effect, what areas should be specified? D A
