Heat and Material Balances for Evaporators
The basic equation for solving for the capacity of a single-effect evaporator
which can be written as:
where ΔT is the difference in temperature between the condensing steam
and the boiling liquid in the evaporator.

The feed to the evaporator is F having a solids content of x F mass fraction,temperature T F , and enthalpy h F .
Coming out as a liquid is the concentrated liquid L having a solids content of x L, temperature T 1, and enthalpy h L.
The vapor V is given off as pure solvent having a solids content of xv !,temperature T 1, and enthalpy H v.
"aturated steam entering is S and has a temperature of T " and enthalpy of H S .
The condensed steam leaving off S is assumed usually to be at T ", thesaturation temperature, with an enthalpy of hS .
This means that the steam gives off only its latent heat, #, where: # H S – hS

"ince the vapor V is in equilibrium with the liquid L, the temperaturesof vapor and liquid are the same.
$ssumption: %o boiling point rise.
&or the material balance, since we are at steady state, the rate of massin rate of mass out. Then, for a total balance,
F = L + V
&or a balance on the solute 'solids( alone:
F x F = L x L

*owever, the enthalpies of the feed and products are often not
available+ these enthalpy concentration data are available for only a
few substances in solution.
f the heat capacities of the liquid feed 'c pF ) and of the roduct 'c pL(
are nown, they can be used to calculate the enthalpies.

Effect of pressre
n ;ample, a pressure of 1!1.46 a abs was used in the vapor space of
the evaporator.This set the boiling point of the solution at 454.6 7 and gaveΔT of 4

Boiling-Point Rise of Soltions
vaporation produces concentrated liquors with boiling point is higher
than pure solvent at the pressure prevailing in vapor space. Thisdifference in > is called >0.
>0 of the concentrated liquor decreases the effective temperaturedriving force compared to the boiling of pure solvent.
&or strong solutions of dissolved solutes the boiling-point rise due to thesolutes in the solution usually cannot be predicted.
*owever, a useful empirical law nown as Duhring’s rule can be applied.
$ccording to this rule, a straight line is obtained if the boiling point of asolution in ?C or ?& is plotted against the boiling point of pure water atthe same pressure.

f the heat of solution of the aqueous solution being concentrated in
the evaporator is large, neglecting it could cause errors in the heat
balances.
"hould consider the heat-of-solution phenomenon.
f pellets of %a3* are dissolved in a given amount of water, it is found
that a considerable temperature rise occurs+ that is, heat is evolved,
called heat of solution.
