Q#1 Evaporation GATE CH 2022 NAT +2 marks -0 marks

A single-effect evaporator with a heat transfer area of 70 m2 concentrates a salt solution using steam. The salt solution feed rate and temperature are 10000 kg h-1 and 40 °C, respectively. The saturated steam feed rate and temperature are 7500 kg h-1 and 150 °C, respectively. The boiling temperature of the solution in the evaporator is 80 °C. The average specific heat of the solution is 0.8 kcal kg-1 K-1.The latent heat of vaporization is 500 kcal kg-1. If the steam-economy is 0.8, the overall heat transfer coefficient is ________ kcal h-1 m-2 K-1 (rounded off to the nearest integer).
