A continuous evaporator is operated with a given feed material under conditions in which the concentration of the product remains constant. The feed rate at the start of a cycle after the tubes have been cleaned has been found to be 5000 kg/h. After 48 h of continuous operation, tests have shown that the feed rate decreases to 2500 kg/h. The reduction in capacity is due to true scale formation. If the down time per cycle for emptying, cleaning, and recharging is 6 h, how long should the evaporator be operated between cleanings in order to obtain the maximum amount of product per 30 days?
