Abstract:A graphical technique to design staged desalination systems is introduced in this work by utilizing the concept of composite curves. Material recycle networks (MRNs), which are very popular graphical tools, also rely on the use of composite curves. MRNs involve sources and sinks that are independent and, hence, require two separate curves. The use of composite curves for designing cascaded desalination systems is very different, since it has to be handled as a "composite loop", due to the interdependence betwe… Show more
