      An aqueous sodium chloride solution (10 wt%) is fed into a single effect evaporator at a rate of 10000 kg/h. It is concentrated to a 20 wt% sodium chloride solution. The rate of consumption of steam in the evaporator is 8000 kg/h. The evaporator capacity (kg/h) and economy are
      1. 5000, 0.625
      2. 10000, 0.625
      3. 5000, 1.6
      4. 10000, 1.6

      An aqueous solution of a solute is concentrated from 5% to 20% (mass basis) in a single-effect short-tube evaporator. The feed enters the evaporator at a rate of 10 kg/s and at a temperature of 300 K. Steam is available at a saturation pressure of 1.3 bar. The pressure in the vapor space of the evaporator is 0.13 bar and the corresponding saturation temperature of steam is 320 K. If the overall heat transfer coefficient is 5000 W/(m\(^2\).K), calculate the:
      1. steam economy (%).
      2. heat transfer surface area (m\(^2\)).
      Enthalpy (kJ/kg) Heat of vaporization (kJ/kg)
      Saturated steam (1.3 bar; 380 K) - 2000
      Saturated steam (0.13 bar; 320 K) 2200 -
      Feed (5% ; 300 K) 80 -
      Concentrated liquor (20% ; 325 K) 400 -

      Boiling point elevation is 5 K.
