Performance evaluation of a once-through multi-stage flash distillation system: Impact of brine heater fouling
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of various design as well as operating conditions on the performance ratio (PR), brine temperature and salinity as it leaves the last flash stage are investigated in a once-through system.
Dissertation
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.
