Q.5 Reactor (ID = 800 mm) with hemispherical head at the bottom. Inside working pressure
is 75 kgf/cm
2
gauge & temperature is 70 ?C. Reactor is covered with plain jacket such
that 75% length of shell & bottom hemispherical head is covered with jacket. Cooling
water is circulated inside the jacket by pumping with a centrifugal pump having a shut
off discharge pressure 6 kgf/cm
2
(g). Hemispherical head is fabricated from SA-516
Grade 70. Maximum allowable stress at design temperature is 610 kgf/cm

Q.5 A single effect evaporator is to be designed to concentrate 9000 kg/hr of a solution from
12% to 20% solids. Feed enters at 25 ?C. Saturated steam at 110 ?C (latent heat = 540
kcal/kg) is available. The condensate leaves at the condensing temperature. Saturation
temperature of vapor to the condenser is 400C ( ? = 580 kcal/kg). Specific heat of all
solutions may be taken as 1 kcal/kg ?C. Boiling point rise is 5 ?C. The evaporator has an
overall heat transfer coefficient of 1900 kcal/hr.m
2
.?C. Calculate: i) evaporator capacity,
ii) evaporator economy, iii) The area of heating surface required. Use 1 kcal = 4186 J.
