    The document describes the specifications and calculations for a falling film evaporator system, including a tube diameter of 1.5 inches, a wetting rate of 500 kg/m/hr, a process temperature of 100C and steam temperature of 115C, resulting in a heat duty of 2862.072W and evaporation rate of 0.001267 kg/s or 4.560344 kg/hr from a single tube. To achieve the desired evaporation rate of 200 kg/hr would require 44 tubes with a total liquid circulation rate of 838.2 kg/hr.
