please dont post an answer from pervious solutions most of them were kinda wrong.Evaporation in Double-Effect Reverse-Feed Evaporators. A feed
containing 2wt% dissolved organic solids in water is fed to two
double-effect evaporators with reverse feed. The feed enters at 100F
and is concentrated to 25% solids. The boiling-point rise can be
considered negligible, as can the heat of solution. Each evaporator has
a 1000-ft2 surface area, and the heat-transfer coefficients are U1=
500 and U2=700btuh*ft2*F. The feed enters evaporator number
2 and steam at 100 psia is fed to evaporator number 1. The pressure in
the vapor space of evaporator number 2 is 0.98 psia. Assume that the
heat capacity of all liquid solutions is that of liquid water. Calculate
the feed rate F and the product rate L1 of a solution containing 25%
solids. (Hint: Assume a feed rate of, say, F=1000lbmh and a value
of T1. Calculate the area and T1. Then, calculate the actual feed rate
by multiplying 1000 by 1000/calculated area.)
Ans. F=133800lbmh(60691kgh),L1=10700lbmh(4853kgh)
