Abstract
A new simplified scalable mathematical model, based on concepts of stream analysis, temperature paths and internal heat exchange, has been developed for synthesis of a multiple effect evaporator systems. In this model, fresh feed is assumed to be composed of product and number of condensate streams, which come out from different effects and these are treated as separate streams. For the present work a septuple effect flat falling film evaporator system, used for concentrating black liquor in an Indian Kraft Pulp and Paper mill, has been considered. This system is being operated under backward sequence with condensate-, feed- and product-flashing as well as steam splitting in first two effects. The set of linear algebraic equations for this model are self-generated through programming and is solved simultaneously using Gaussian Elimination Method with partial pivoting. Results of the present approach are validated with published model and industrial data.
