Step 2: Find the right material

balance equation for first, second
and third effects.

Step 1: Resume all of known data from

the question.

Step 11: Assume steam to 1st effect, Vapors

from 1st effect and 2nd effect.

When a forward-feed multiple-effect evaporator employs equal

surfaces in each effect, as noted above, experience indicates that the

Step 10: Calculate heat to condenser, water

requirement and economy.

a)

W1 = 0.98 Ws 6451
= 0.98 (18939.25) 6451
= 12400 lb/hr
b) W2
= 0.96 Ws 4790
= 0.96 (18939.25) 4790
= 13300 lb/hr
c) W3
= 0.79 Ws 463.17
= 0.79 (18939.25) 463.17
= 14300 lb/hr

Water Requirement =

(Btu/Lb)

s = 949
1 = 961
2 = 981
3 = 1022

Step 6: Find the right heat balance

equation for first, second and third
effects.
949 ws + 50 , 000 ( 100-224 ) = 961 w1
961 w 1 + ( 50 , 000- w1 ) (224-194 ) = 981 w 2

Step 7: Find and calculate the heat

value of first, second and third effects.

Heat to condenser = w s s = 14,300 x 1022 = 14,710,0

A 2 =1,590 ft2

Step 8: Find and calculate

the total heat value (Ws)
w 1 = 12,400
