s The details of the calculations
performed thus far can be found in the appendix. A brief description of the
process used follows in this section. The total heat transfered can be
determined by using the following equation
Where q is heat transferred in the evaporator, S
is lbs/hr of saturated steam entering system, Hs is the enthalpy of the
saturated steam, hs is enthalpy of condensed steam leaving system. The heat
transfer coefficients were then determined by rearranging the following
equation.
Where U is the heat transfer coefficient, A is
the surface area of the evaporator, and ÄT is the difference in temperature
between the saturated steam and condensing steam. These heat transfer
coefficients were then compared to available values.
