Mechanical recompression evaporation is used in the production of____________________?
Correct answer: B. Distilled water
- A. Alcohol
- B. Distilled water
- C. Salt
- D. Fruits jam
Explanation
Mechanical vapour recompression reuses the compressed vapour as the heating medium, making it especially useful in evaporative production of distilled water. The recovered latent heat greatly reduces steam consumption compared with ordinary evaporation.
