Question:

A colloidal solution enters a single-effect evaporator at 100°C. Water is vaporized from the solution, producing a more concentrated solution and 0.5 kg·s−1 of steam at 100°C. This steam is compressed and sent to the heating coils of the evaporator to supply the heat required for its operation. For a minimum heat-transfer driving force across the evaporator coils of 10°C, for a compressor efficiency of 75%, and for adiabatic operation, what is the state of the steam leaving the heating coils of the evaporator? For a surroundings temperature of 300 K, make a thermodynamic analysis of the process.
