Assume :
The condensate in each effect exits at the condensation temperature.
The operation is steady state.
Step 1
Draw the process diagram
Step 2
Combine the heat transfer rate equation with an enthalpy
balance in the first effect to calculate the steam
consumption
= 198.5 kPa
Step 3
Calculate the solids content

Step 6
Calculate the cooling water flow rate in the
condenser
Write an enthalpy balance in the condenser
q = U A TLM
A = q / U TLM
= (55.8) / (22 x 12)
= 0.21 x 103 m2
= 210 m2.
