I need help on this one, please. This is done through a multi-effect evaporation (forward-feed quadruple effect evaporator).
Given:
m = 38,000 lb/br = 0.15 & = 0.75
Enthalpies in (Btu/lb):
At 70°F, h = 38.074667 Btu/lb
At 224.3278309°F, Hv = 1154.965710 Btu/lb, hy = 192.640568 Btu/lb
At 252.932877°F, Hvo = 1165.128474 Btu/lb, hvo = 221.603053 Btu/lb
At 188.613850°F, Hv = 1141.347609 Btu/lb, hy = 156.686585 Btu/lb
At 241.751397°F, Hv = 1161.245167 Btu/lb, hv = 210.261099 Btu/lb
At 111.425572°F, Hv4 = 1109.608414 Btu/lb, hv = 79.441041 Btu/lb
Required: Given the values, solve by using a Gauss-Jordan matrix similar to the figure below. Explain the steps.
H - h h - H 0 fm.e 0 H + h - 2h ha - H mL 0 H - h H + H - 2h
mh - h mh - h
So, substituting all values, we get:
945.35962.96 0 922.01 -988.30 0 958.14 1946.44
7360200 -1842750 32147975.45
