HEAT AND MATERIAL BALANCES
- Material balances per effect were calculated using
values provided in the process flow diagram. Results we obtained
individually from the solids and water balance by adding and subtracting
steams entering and exiting each effect. The amount added in the feed must
be removed in the product. Balances for the individual stream were
calculated in excel using a process called the sequential modular method.
The water balance is a estimated value because of the leakage of pumps, loss
of water vapor, and addition of steam. The sequential modular process using
the iterative method to calculate the values in each stream. Heat balances
were calculated in the similar manner. The enthalpy in each component of
each stream was determined, and totaled to obtain the complete enthalpy in
each stream. The sequential modular method was again used to complete the
balance of enthalpies to complete a total heat balance.
