14.9. A forward feed double-effect vertical evaporator, with equal heating areas in each effect, is fed with 5 kg/s of a liquor of specific heat capacity of 4.18 kJ/kg K. and with no boiling point rise, so that 50 per cent of the feed liquor is evaporated. The overall heat transfer coefficient in the second effect is 75 per cent of that in the first effect. Steam is fed at 395 K and the boiling point in the second effect is 373 K. The feed is heated by an external heater to the boiling point in the first effect. It is decided to bleed off 0.25 kg/s of vapour from the vapour line to the second effect for use in another process. If the feed is still heated to the boiling point of the first effect by external means, what will be the change in steam consumption of the evaporator unit? For the purpose of calculation, the latent heat of the vapours and of the steam may both be taken as 2230 kJ/kg Ад O

14.14. A three-stage evaporator is fed with 1.25 kg/s of a liquor which is concentrated from 10 to 40 per cent solids by mass. The heat transfer coefficients may be taken as 3.1, 2.5 and 1.7 kW/m² K, respectively, in each effect. Calculate the steam flow at 170 kN/m² and the temperature distribution in the three effects, if: (a) the feed is at 294 K, and (b) the feed is at 355 K. Forward feed is used in each case and the values of U are the same for the two systems. The boiling point in the third effect is 325 K and the liquor has no boiling point rise. O
