Selection of optimum configuration for multiple effect evaporator system Original Research Article

In the present work mathematical models based on set of nonlinear equations have been developed for the synthesis of multiple effect evaporator (MEE) systems. A number of configurations and complexities of real MEE system such as condensate, feed and product flashing, vapor bleeding, steam splitting, variable physical properties and boiling point rise are accounted to develop of different models. Along with these a model for predicting fouling resistance is also developed using the experimental data.
