A continuous evaporator is operated with a given feed material under conditions in which the
concentration of the product remains constant. The feed rate at the start of a cycle after the
tubes have been cleaned has been found to be 5000 kg/h. After 48 h of continuous operation,
tests have shown that the feed rate decreases to 2500 kg/h. The reduction in capacity is due to
true scale formation. If the downtime per cycle for emptying, cleaning, and recharging is 6 h,
how long should the evaporator be operated between cleanings in order to obtain the maximum
amount of product per 30 days?

A triple-effect forward-feed evaporator is used to concentrate a liquid which has marginal elevation in boiling point. The temperature of the stream to the first effect is 125°C, and the boiling point of the solution within third effect is 45°C. Find out at what temperatures the fluid boils in the Ι and ΙΙ effects. The overall heat transfer coefficients are 2250W/m2 in the Ι-effect, 1800W/m2 in the ΙΙ-effect and 1300W/m2 in the ΙΙΙ-effect respectively.

In an accelerated failure test, components are operated under extreme conditions so that a substantial number will fail in a rather short time. In such a test involving two types of microchips, 620 chips manufactured by an existing process were tested, and 125 of them failed. Then, 820 chips manufactured by a new process were tested, and 130 of them failed. Find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of failures for chips manufactured by the two...

Given two lines, state and prove the precise conditions under which reflecting a point about the two lines is commutative. I have seen this proved on here more than once, but I do not understand the answers that have been provided. I have seen that the two lines must be perpendicular- Why isn't it all sets of two lines? Is there a counterexample that I can visualize? Is that answer even correct? Thank you!

Consider the following process in which liquid feed material A (normal BP of 110°C) is reacted with gaseous feed material G to produce main product C and byproducts R and S via the following reactions: Both feeds enter the process at ambient temperature and pressure. Both reactions occur in the gas phase at moderate temperature and pressure (250°C and 10 bar). The normal boiling points of G, S, and C are less than −120°C. Byproduct R has a normal boiling...
