Example 12.11-2
A feed solution of 2268 kg at 327.6 K (54.4 oC) containing 48.2 kg
MgSO4/100 kg total water is cooled to 293.2 K (20 oC), where
MgSO4.7H2O crystals are removed. The solubility of the salt is
35.5 kg MgSO4/100 kg total water. The average heat capacity of the
feed solution can be assumed as 2.93 kJ/kg.K. The heat of solution
at 291.2 K (18 oC) is -13.31×103 kJ/kg mol MgSO4.7H2O.
Calculate the yield of crystals and make a heat balance to
determine the total heat absorbed, assuming that no water is
evaporaized! 11
