Question:hard

In an evaporation, the steam consumption is 2000 kg/h for the evaporation of 1500 kg/h of water. The economy of the evaporator is:

Show Hint

Evaporator economy is a dimensionless ratio.
For a single-effect evaporator, the economy is always less than \(1.0\) due to energy losses, while multi-effect evaporators can achieve economies greater than \(1.0\) by reusing vapor.
