: MATERIAL BALANCE

GENERAL 2.1
The Mass Balance around series of effects are referred to as over all
.Balance

Only the streams entering and leaving the process as a whole are
.involved in an over all balance

Material balance around triple-effect system 2.2

The material balance equations for this system are based

the multiple-effect evaporation in series operation with forward -1

.feed

the vapor or steam produced in the first effect, second effect,and -2

.third effect is equals

the sum of quantities evaporated in each effect must equal the total -3
.evaporated in all three effects

Over all material balance from Figure (2.1)
