Description

A flexible program is introduced which can be used to design and simulate different plant configurations for Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) desalination plants under different operating conditions. The program enables the operator to excute different modifications for the existing plant. The developed program has three calculations modes include design and performance analysis of MEE processes. The developed program constructs a large matrix that is solved for temperatures, flow rates of the brine and vapor for all units. The capability of the MatLab platform in the development process of the present program is implemented in this work. Different cases for different desalination plant configurations are analyzed and studied using the developed program of this work. The studied configurations include forward, backward, parallel and mixed plants. The solution results are verified by comparison with some published articles yielding accurate results
