Question
A single effect evaporator was used to concentrate 8000 kg / hr of tomato juice from 5% total solids to 30% total solids. The juice enters the Evaporator at 20 ° C. The evaporator is operated on Steam (85% quality) at 143.27 kPa. The vacuum in the evaporator allows the juice to boil at 80 ° C. The specific heat of the dilute material is 4.1 kJ / (kg ° C) and the concentrate product is 3.1 kJ / (kg ° C). Count it
(a) Steam demand rate = Answer
kg / hour.
b. Steam economy when condensate temperature is released at 75 ° C. = Answer
(kg of water evaporated / kg of steam)
