In Multi-Effects Desalination (MED) system composed of
4 effects, and 3 feed
preheaters and down condenser. List the following:
a- The mass balance in the evaporator, feed preheater and down
condenser
b- The energy balance in the evaporator, feed preheater and down
condenser
c- The Material balance in the first effect
d- The temperature profile of the feed if the intake temperature is
25ºC and
temperature of last effect is 40ºC and the temperature of first
effect is 60ºC
e- What will happen to the transfer area of the evaporator if the
motive steam
temperature is increased to 100ºC where the rest is remaining
constants.
