Dynamic modeling of multi stage flash (MSF) desalination plant

TL;DR: In this article, a new demister design was made upon varying the wire diameter to reduce the pressure/temperature drop in the vapour stream without affecting the separation efficiency of brine droplets and allows the optimal design of complete MSF units.

Numerical Solution of Highly Expanded Flashing Liquid Jets

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional axisymmetric model for the expansion region of a flashing liquid jet expanding into a low-pressure environment is presented, where the theory of oblique evaporation waves is applied to solve the jump equations of the fast evapuration that occurs on the surface of the metastable liquid core.

A dynamic simulator for MSF plants

TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic simulator for MSF desalination plants is presented, which allows the modification of MSF topology and parameters into a wide range, such as the number of stages belonging to the recovery and rejection sections, controller parameters (set point, integral time and gain), valve size, pump characteristics, seawater conditions, stages and heater dimensions.
