Apple juice is being concentrated in a natural circulation single effect evaporator. At steady state conditions, dilute juice is the feed introduced at a rate of 7 kg/s. The concentration of the dilute juice is 10% total solids. The juice is concentrated to 50% total solids. Steam is available at 205 kPa and evaporation takes place at 13.5 kPa. The specific heat of dilute apple juice is 3.76 kJ/kg. The inlet feed temperature is 21oC and the condensate leaves the heating space at 79.7oC . The overall heat transfer coefficient is assumed to be 3000 W/m2K. Assume negligible boiling point elevation.
