Design A Triple Effect Forced Circulation Evaporator :-

(1) Feed rate, F (given)

F x f =P1 x P 1

xf = given, xp1 = given,


Calculate P1 in kg/h
(2) Overall Balance,
F=P1 + E
Calculate E.
(3) Tf = Temperature of feed substance (in ℃ )
TE3 = Condensate temperature from third effect (in ℃ )
(4) Saturation steam pressure (given, and convert into 3.09 kg/cm2)
Ts = 133.9℃
λ s=516.6 kcal /kg
Overall transfer coefficients:
U1 (U1) = given in w/m2.k (divide 1.163 for kcal/hr.m2.c)
U2 (U2) = given
U3 (U3) = given
(5) Calculation of intermediate concentrations:
Assume equal evaporation

For second effect,

F x f =P2 x p 2

And F = E 2 + P2

Or Fxf = (F-E2) xp2

Calculate xp2.

For first effect,

P3 xp3 = P1 x P1
Also, for third effect,
P2 x P2 = P3 x P3 and P2 = P3 + E3
Where,
(P2 = F- E2)
Calculate P3.
For first effect the solid balance,

(F – E2 – E3) xp3 = P1 xp1


Calculate xp3.

(6) Apparent temperature distribution :


Overall Δ T =T s −T E 3

(7) For equal heat load and equal area in each of the effects,

U1∆ T 1=U 2 ∆ T 2=U 3 ∆ T 3


Also,
∆ T =∆ T 1 + ∆T 2 + ∆ T 3
Calculate∆ T 1 , ∆ T 2∧∆ T 3 .
T E 1=T s−∆ T 1

T E 2 =T E 1−∆T 2

T E 3 =T E 2−∆T 3
(8) Calculation of B.P.R.:
Pressure (or vacuum) in the effects are obtained from the temperature of vapour in the
effects.
First effect- TE1 (calculated), P1 = 13.08 psi
(3.3’’ Hg. Vacuum)
Second Effect- TE2 (calculated), P2 = 20.5’’ Hg. Vacuum
Third vacuum- TE3 (calculated), P3 = 28.04’’ Hg. Vacuum
From fig. 14.38 are temperature are obtained as,
TL1 = 280 ℉ (137.75℃ )
TL2 = 168℉ (‘‘ ‘)
TL3 = 116℉ (‘’’)

BPR = TL- TE
Calculate BPR1, BPR2 and BPR3
Calculate ∑ BPR
True Δ T =Σ BPR−(Last )∆T

Now calculate true ∆ T =∆ T 1 (1+ + )
U2 U3
Calculate true ∆ T1, ∆ T2 and ∆ T3

For second effect,

(16) Detailed design. Evaporators are design on the basis of highest heating area.
Hence area of heat effect.
Let a select 50 mm OD (40mm ID) tubes each of 2 m arranged on 75 mm square
pitch.

So,
