“…For the falling film evaporator that has a tube bundle connected by the headers, all the heat transfer tubes have the same steam total pressure drop. The tubes that have larger heat flux absorb more steam to maintain the pressure balance [19]. As depicted in Fig.…”

“…The horizontal-tube falling-film evaporator has been commonly utilized in seawater desalination, petrochemical and chemical fields, refrigeration, and so on . It has several outstanding advantages, including small temperature difference, high heat transfer efficiency, easy separation of vapor, and minimum pressure drop . The horizontal-tube falling film usually exhibits a series of complex fluid behavior, including impact, spreading (along the axial and circumferential directions), convergence, and departure .…”

“…2 The horizontal-tube falling film evaporator (HFE) has been widely used in the MED system and shows significant advantages, including high heat transfer efficiency, minimum pressure drop, easy separation of vapor, and small temperature difference. 3 A large number of experiments have been carried out to study the heat transfer performance of falling film evaporation. Many factors have effects on the heat transfer performance, such as spray density, 4,5 heat flux, 6 steam flow rate, 7 and evaporation temperature.…”

“…Hou et al 15 developed a two-dimensional numerical model to analyze the heat and mass exchange and thermal parameters distributions in both shell side and tube side, which could reveal heat transfer characteristics and fluid flow in the evaporator. Shen et al 3 used a DPM to simulate the flow characteristics and heat transfer of the HFE. The maldistribution of steam velocity under different operating conditions was quantitatively analyzed.…”
