Seawater containing 3.50 wt% salt passes through a series of 9 evaporators. Roughly equal quantities of water are vaporized in each of the 9 units and then condensed and combined to obtain a product stream of fresh water.
The brine leaving each evaporator but the 9th is fed to the next evaporator.
The brine leaving the 9th evaporator contains 4.70 wt% salt. It is desired to produce 1 x 104 L/h of fresh water.1) How much seawater must be fed to the process?(in kg/h)2) What is the mass flow rate of concentrated brine out of the process?(in kg/h)3) What is the weight percent of salt in the outlet from the 4th evaporator?4) What is the fractional yield of fresh water from the process (kg H2O recovered/kg H2O in process feed)?

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
