A single-effect evaporator with a heat transfer area of 70 m2 concentrates a salt solution using steam. The salt solution feed rate and temperature are 10000 kg h−1 and 40 °C, respectively. The saturated steam feed rate and temperature are 7500 kg h−1 and 150 °C, respectively. The boiling temperature of the solution in the evaporator is 80 °C. The average specific heat of the solution is 0.8 kcal kg−1 K−1. The latent heat of vaporization is 500 kcal kg−1. If the steam-economy is 0.8, the overall heat transfer coefficient is ________ kcal h−1 m−2 K−1 (rounded off to the nearest integer).

Correct : 0.10
