Hi all,

I am looking to find a good resource for the calculations involved in the sizing of thin-film evaporators.

In particular:

1. Estimation of heat transfer with respect to the turbulent nature of a thin-film

2. Estimation of mass transfer in thin film separations

3. A calculation method to determine the concentration of the liquor at any given point along the length of the film.

4. Calculation method (or reference) for outside heat transfer coefficients (jacket material), outside fouling coefficients (jacket material), as well as estimation methods for the inside heat transfer coefficients and inside fouling coefficients.

Any suggestions?
