a) FHF+S∇S=EHE+EHP
b) FHF+S∇S=EHE+PHP
c) E1 ∇E1+P1HP1=E2 HE2+P2 HP2
d) FHF+S∇S=E1 HE+P1HP
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The enthalpy balance for the 2nd effect can be determined encircling the required data in inlet and outlet.
INLET: Feed P1with enthalpy HP1 and Steam E1with latent heat ∇E1
OUTLET: Evaporate E2 and Product P2
E1 ∇E1+P1 HP1=E2HE2+P2 HP2.

3. In a triple effect evaporator, given the enthalpies as and the flow rates calculate the evaporation rate in the 2nd effect.

106 538 640
90 545 631
57 568 619

Feed rate = 50Kg/hr, Feed conc = 0.3, Product conc = 0.5
Find the evaporation rate in 2nd effect.
a) 25.7 kg/hr
b) 20 kg/hr
c) 15 kg/hr
d) 10 kg/hr
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The enthalpy balance for the 2nd effect can be determined encircling the required data in inlet and outlet.
INLET: Feed P1 with enthalpy HP1 and Steam E1 with latent heat ∇E1
OUTLET: Evaporate E2 and Product P2
E1 ∇E1+P1 HP1=E2 HE2+P2 HP2
Hence, P = XFF/Xp = 50×0.3/0.5 = 30Kg/hr, E1= 50-30 =20kg/hr
E1 ∇E1+P1 HP1=E2 HE2+P2 HP2
20×538+30×106=(E)x631+(30-E)x90
Hence, the value of E = 25.7kg/hr.

4. In a triple effect evaporator, given the enthalpies as and the flow rates calculate the product formation rate in the 2nd effect.
Feed rate = 25000kg/hr at 38℃, Feed conc = 0.10, Product conc = 0.50

a) 6630 kg/hr
b) 7190 kg/hr
c) 6180 kg/hr
d) 5000 kg/hr
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The enthalpy balance for the 2nd effect can be determined encircling the required data in inlet and outlet.
INLET: Feed P1 with enthalpy HP1 and Steam E1 with latent heat ∇E1
OUTLET: Evaporate E2 and Product P2
FHF+S∇S=EHE+PHP
E1 ∇E1+P1 HP1=E2 HE2+P2 HP2
Hence, P = XFF/Xp = 25000×0.1/0.5 = 5000Kg/hr, E= E1 + E2 + E3 = 25000-5000 =20000kg/hr
E1 ∇E1+P1 HP1=E2 HE2+P2 HP2
E2 ∇E2+P2 HP2=EHE+PHP
We have the three equations with the unknowns E1, E2, E3, P1, P2, P = 5000 kg/hr.
Hence solving the equations using a scientific calculator we get, E3 = 7190 kg/hr.

a) Maximum
b) Minimum
c) Average
d) Median
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: We consider only the maximum value of the area for calculations of number of tubes and other necessities such as the number of turns etc.

14. If the three areas obtained from steam calculation are 1512, 1622, and 1892. If the diameter and the length of the tube are 5cm and 150cm respectively, find the number of tubes required in this multiple effect evaporator.
a) 697
b) 802
c) 892
d) 502
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: We consider only the maximum value of the area for calculations of number of tubes and other necessities. Hence the maximum value here is 1892 which is our required answer.
The area of each tube is = πDo L hence we have πDo L N=189 or N=189/3.14×0.05×1.5=802.

15. If we have the areas calculated for the three effects as 1512, 1622, and 1892. Then the value we consider to manufacture the three effects of this triple effect evaporator is ______________
a) 1622
b) 1512
c) 1892
d) Their respective values
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: We consider only the maximum value of the area for calculations of number of tubes and other necessities. Hence the maximum value here is 1892.
