24.
It is desired to concentrate a 20% salt solution (20 kg of salt in 100 kg of solution) to a 30% salt solution in an evaporator. Consider a feed of 300 kg/min at 30°C. The boiling point of the solution is 110°C, the latent heat of vaporisation is 2100 kJ/kg and the specific heat of the solution is 4 kJ/kg.K. The rate at which the heat has to be supplied in (kJ/min) to the evaporator is
3.06 x l05
6.12 x 105
7.24 x 105
9.08 x 105

100kg/min water is evaporating as per material balance we find out that 200 Kg/min output remains but we get 300Kg/min.

So, remaining was evaporated which is 300-200= 100 kg/min.
