Triple Effect Evaporator Design Guide

The document outlines the design requirements for a forward feed triple effect evaporator to concentrate caustic soda solution from X1% to X2% w/w. It provides parameters such as feed flow rate, temperature, and pressure, along with estimated overall heat transfer coefficients for each effect. Additionally, it requires calculations for steam consumption, heat load, heat transfer area, and operating conditions for each effect.

Design a forward feed triple effect evaporator to concentrate X1% w/w

caustic soda solution to a product with X2 w/w NaOH. Feed liquor is available
at F kg/sec at ToC. Last effect of the evaporator can be connected to an
existing vacuum system and operated at a pressure of P kPa (abs). Steam with
negligible superheat is available at 120oC. Estimated overall heat transfer
coefficients for the effects are 3000, 2000 and 1250 W/(m2C), defined with
respect to the difference in temperature of the liquid in the effect and the
condensing temperature of steam/vapour heating it.
Estimate:
(i) Steam consumption
(ii) Heat load
(iii) Heat transfer area, Operating temperature, Pressure and Condensate
temperature in each effect.
