An evaporator is operating at atmospheric pressure. It is desired to concentrate the feed from 5% solute to 20% solute at a rate of 5000 kg/h. Dry saturated steam at a pressure corresponding to saturation temperature of 399 Kis used. The feed is at 298 Kand boiling point rise is of 5 K. Overall heat transfer coefficient is 2350 W/m2K. Calculate economy and heat transfer area for evaporator. Latent heat of condensation of steam at 399 Kis 2185 kJ/kg Latent heat of evaporation of water at atmospheric pressure and 373 Kis 2257 kJ/kg Specific heat of feed = 4.187 kJ/kg K

An evaporator operating at atmospheric pressure is fed at rate of 10000 kg/h of weak liquor containing 4 % caustic soda. The liquor leaving the evaporator contains 25% caustic soda. Find capacity of evaporator.

Explain Wien’s displacement.

Explain in detail various regions in pool boiling.
