Water at a temperature of 77°C is to be evaporated slowly in a vessel. The water is in a low pressure container surrounded by steam as shown in the sketch below. The steam is condensing at 107°C. The overall heat transfer coefficient between the water and the steam is 1100 W/(m2 K). Calculate the surface area of the container which would be required to evaporate water at a rate of 0.01 kg/s.

GIVEN
• Water evaporated slowly in a low pressure vessel surrounded by steam
• Water temperature (Tw) = 77°C
• Steam condensing temperature (Ts) = 107°C
• Overall transfer coefficient between the water and the steam (U) = 1100 W/(m2 K)
• Evaporation rate m
w= 0.01 kg/s
FIND
• The surface area (A) of the container required
ASSUMPTIONS
• Steady state prevails
• Vessel pressure is held constant at the saturation pressure corresponding to 77°C
