Exergy Analysis of the Optimized MSFD Type of Water Desalination

This book presents a detailed thermodynamical exergy analysis of an optimized MSF distillation plant based on the latest published thermodynamics properties of water and seawater software of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by using design and optimized plant operation data. Exergy flow rates are evaluated throughout the plant and the exergy flow diagram is prepared in both cases. The rates of exergy destruction and their percentages are indicated on the diagram so that the locations of each exergy destruction can easily be identified.The methods contained in this book are appropriate for energy students and utility engineers to address most service conditions.
