In case of evaporators, liquid entrainment results primarily due to_________________?

Correct answer: C. Foaming of the solution

  • A. High vacuum in the evaporator
  • B. High evaporation rate
  • C. Foaming of the solution
  • D. High heat transfer rate

Explanation

Foaming carries liquid droplets into the vapour outlet, producing entrainment in evaporators. High evaporation or heat-transfer rates can worsen the problem, but foaming is the primary cause.
