Increasing the liquor level in the evaporator results in the_______________?

Correct answer: A. Decreased capacity

  • A. Decreased capacity
  • B. Increase in liquor film co-efficient
  • C. Decreased effect of hydrostatic head
  • D. Increased true temperature drop

Explanation

A higher liquid level increases the hydrostatic pressure and therefore the local boiling point, reducing the effective temperature driving force. The resulting lower heat-transfer rate reduces evaporator capacity.
