Abstract

Distalation is the simplest technique lor producing fresh water. A thermal model for a MIulti-stage Flash (MSF ) distiilation plant is constructed to calculate the preliminary values for different design paramelars. For a specified values of input heat per unit mass flow rate of distilled water, see Water temperature. Sea water concentration, and maximum brine temperature, the values of most important design parametrs are Obtained. These parameters are the total number of stage, total heat transfer surface area, pertormance ratio.
Temperatures and mass flow rates for MSF rates for MSF distillation plant. To perform this study, a set of non-linear simultaneous equations is
developed and solved bt iteration methods. Then tha values of the design parameters are evaluated for the specified requirements at the MSF distillation
plant to produce unit mass flow rate of distilled water.
