Applications of GUI

GUI for Evaporator

Evaporators are kind of heat transfer equipment where the transfer

mechanism is controlled by natural convection or forced convection. A solution

containing a desired product is fed into the evaporator and it is heated by a heat source

like steam. Because of the applied heat, the water in the solution is converted into vapor

and is condensed while the concentrated solution is either removed or fed into a second

evaporator for further concentration, (Jaishree, 2010). Methods for solving multi-effect

evaporators fall into three broad classes, the traditional trial-and-error taught in most

textbooks, simplified methods used for first order design approximation, and complex

methods such as dynamic programming and evolutionary operations, and the only

method taught in classrooms was the traditional trial-and–error method, (Joye & F.).

GUI provides an accurate and flexible method to be used as a design tool in practice,

(Miranda, 2011). The fully computerized method converges from any starting point by

any single valued function, such as the steam rate and was at least an order of magnitude

faster than nonlinear solving equation techniques. In addition, the computer routine can

be incorporated into search program to find optimum economic design, (Joye & F.

William, 1988).
