A tridiagonal matrix model for multistage flash desalination plants

Dynamic modelling of MSF plants for automatic control and simulation purposes: a survey

“…The condensate subsystem including the product tray has been dynamically modelled by [12,13,27] and quasi-stationary by [25] and [10]. Finally, saltwater properties are obtained in general from [ 18] and [29]. For steam and water properties, commentaries given for the brine heater are also valid here.…”

Optimization of alternative structures of integrated power and desalination plants

“…The correlation depends on the velocity of brine, brine temperature, and diameter tube [7]. The dependence of the NEA on the stage flashing temperature, the liquid level inside the flashing chamber and the brine flow rate per unit of chamber width is considered [8]. Also, hydraulic correlations to describe the inter-stages transport flow-rate of the flashing brine are adopted [9].…”

Improving the efficiency of the MSF once through (MSF-OT) and MSF-mixer (MSF-M) evaporators

“…5. Non-equilibrium allowance (NEA) is taken into account according to the correlation developed in [5]. 6.…”
