A single-effect evaporator is concentrating a feed of 9072 kg/h of a 10 wt % solution of NaOH in water at temperature of 288.8 K

to a product of 50% solids. The pressure of the saturated steam used is 42 kPa (gage) and the pressure in the vapor space of the evaporator is 20 kPa (abs).
a)Neglecting boiling point raise and the heat of solution, calculate the steamused, the steam economy in kg vaporized/kg steam, required surface area ofthe evaporator.



b)Repeat the calculations taking into consideration boiling point raise and heatof solution

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Going by the question above for parta, the feed flow rate is stated to be 9072g/hr.& result is offered for part a considering the same. if the unit is kg/hr, then kindly let me know & i shall make slight modification that might be required in solution which in that case, area & steam consumption answer shall differ.

In the b part of the question, reduced flow rate is higher than the initial flow rate therefore same has been considered in gram /hr.

Kindly check the attached images below to see the step by step solution to the above question.

Answer:

a) steam used = 8440 kg/hr

b)  Because as per calculation done in a), Steam is sufficient to evaporate 7257.6 kg/hr water from feed. Since feed is less than this amount, therefore whole water will be evaporated and 100% solid product will be obtained in bottom collection

Explanation:

Saturated steam pressure = 42KPag=1.42 bar

From steam table, Steam temperature = 110 C

Latent heat of this steam = 2230 KJ/kg

Process side pressure = 20 Kpaa = .2 bar

Water latent heat at this Pressue = 2360 KJ/kg

Water boiling Point at this Pressure =60 C

Feed Inlet temperature = 15.6 C

Total Heat required = Heat required to rise feed temperature from 15.6 to 60 degree C + Evaporation of water to concentrate the feed

Total Water evaporation required = 9072*(100-10)/100-9072*.1/.5*.5=7257.6 Kg/hr

Specific heat of feed assumed = 4.2 KJ/kg/K

=> Total heat required = 9072*4.2*(60-15.6)+7257.6*2360=18819682 KJ/hr

LMTD = ((110-60)-(110-15.6))/LN((110-60)/(110-15.6))=69.8 C

U, Overall Heat transfer coefficient = 1988 W/m2/K

Total heat required = U*A*LMTD

=> Area required of evaporator, A=18819682 *1000/3600/1988/59.8=44 m2

Steam used = 18819682/2230=8440 kg/hr

Energy required to condense vaporised feed = 7257.6*2360=17127936 KJ/hr

=> Steam efficiency = (18819682-17127936)/18819682=9%

b) Because as per calculation done in a), Steam is sufficient to evaporate 7257.6 kg/hr water from feed. Since feed is less than this amount, therefore whole water will be evaporated and 100% solid product will be obtained in bottom collection

A student is doing an experiment to determine the effects of temperature on an object. He writes down that the initial temperatu
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Explanation:

The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.

The two most important scales are:

- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).

- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.

The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

T(K)=T(^{\circ}C)+273.15

Therefore  in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
