Development and optimization of ME-TVC desalination system

RETRACTED: An integrated optimization model and application of MEE-TVC desalination system

“…Bin Amer [11] designed a MATLAB program to determine the operating conditions of a different number of effects to maximize the gain ratio through two methods: (1) Smart Exhaustive Search Method and (2) Sequential Quadratic Programming. Seyed Ehsan Shakib [12] made an optimization on MEE-TVC system with four objectives by genetic algorithm from the view of thermal economics.…”

Optimization of multi-effect distillation process using a linear enthalpy model

“…Capital and operating cost correlations intrinsically contain some degree of uncertainty [54,55]. A sensitivity analysis of the water price to the capital and operating cost would yield the obvious results of increased price for increased cost.…”

Effect of thermo-compression on the design and performance of falling-film multi-effect evaporator

“…Studies such as those involving optimal flow patterns (Nishitani and Kunugita, 1979), minimum utility insights and cascaded heat representation for the calculation of optimal temperatures have been carried out to achieve this optimization. These studies preceded the use of empirical models to estimate the global heat transfer coefficient, U (Higa et al, 2009;Piacentino and Cardona, 2010) and quadratic programming (Amer, 2009). Rigorous models have been applied to the optimization of climbing-falling-film plate (Ribeiro and Andrade, 2002) and falling film evaporators (Díaz-Ovalle et al, 2013a;Sharma et al, 2011).…”
