  • A. Increased
  • B. Decreased
  • C. No effect on
  • D. None of these

Explanation

With hot feed in a multiple-effect evaporator, forward feeding generally improves economy because the feed enters at a relatively high temperature and requires less sensible heating. Backward feeding is more useful for cold, viscous feeds.
