- The document describes an evaporator that concentrates a 20% sodium hydroxide solution to 50% using steam at a temperature of 126.45°C.
- Key calculations include determining vapor and liquid temperatures and enthalpies, solving material and energy balances, and using the heat transfer equation to calculate the required vapor flow.
- Solving the system of equations gives the feed rate F to the evaporator as 11,700 kg/h.
