Exercise
Estimate the requirements of steam and heat transfer surface, and the evaporating temperatures in each effect, for a triple effect evaporator evaporating 500 kg h-1 of a 10% solution up to a 30% solution. Steam is available at 200 kPa gauge and the pressure in the evaporation space in the final effect is 60 kPa absolute. Assume that the overall heat transfer coefficients are 2270, 2000 and 1420 J m-2 s-1 °C-1 in the first, second and third effects respectively. Neglect sensible heat effects and assume no boiling-point elevation, and assume equal heat transfer in each effect.
Answer. A1 = 2.4 m2 = A2 = A3
Steam consumption: 0.35kg steam/kg water evaporated.
Note: Trial and error solution is not required here.

An activated sludge aeration blower is delivering air to
diffusers in an aeration tank. You want to estimate the isentropic
efficiency and the work input (by the motor). At the blower inlet,
the volumetric flow rate is measured at 85 m3/min, the pressure is
0.98 atm and the temperature is 20⁰C. If the pressure is increased
to 1.61 atm and the blower outlet temperature is 350 K: a) what is
the blower isentropic efficiency, and b) what is the work input
(kW) to the blower (by the motor)? Hints: k for air can be taken
(Table A-2b) as 1.40; you can use Equation 8-43 to determine the
isentropic process T2 value. You can use the Ideal Gas Law to
determine the mass flow rate based on the inlet conditions and
volumetric flow rate. Cp can be obtained from Table A-2b (From:
Introduction to Thermodynamics and Heat transfer).

Formula 3 = y( x) = (x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x – 25)/40
In terms of hand calculations, determine the root of Formula 3 given above by using the Newton-Raphson method. Start with an initial guess of xo = -4, i.e., yo = y(-4). Label your successive solution pairs as(xo yo), (x1, y1), (x2, y2)….Work out your solution (at each step) to an accuracy of two places below the decimal point. Your overall solution is to display full detail of every step taken. At the end of your derivation, write a summary table that displays the x, y and dy/dx values for each step along the solution path. Clearly state your final answer and the number of iterations required to reach it.
