Abstract

abstract Article history:Received 18 January 2014Received in revised form 13 July 2014Accepted 14 July 2014Available online xxxxKeywords:Steady-state modellingMEE-TVCMED-TVCDesalination plants Multi-effect evaporation with thermal vapor compression (MEE-TVC) is one of the most effective desalinationmethod.ItplaysavitalroleintheproductionoffreshwaterinmanyregionsoftheworldespeciallyintheArabiancountries. A steady-state mathematical model of MEE-TVC system and its solution procedure are developedbased on the basic laws of material balance, energy balance and heat transfer equations with correlations forphysical properties estimation. The inﬂuence of important design and operating variables on the performanceof the plant is investigated. These parameters include number of evaporation effects, motive steam pressure, topbrine temperature, temperature difference across effects and feed water temperature. The purpose of this paperis to develop a mathematical model of the MEE-TVC systems and compare the results with the existing plants.
