Abstract

Many parts of the globe need large amounts of water for agricultural, industrial, and residential purposes. The global scarcity of fresh water is becoming more apparent. For saltwater desalination, a variety of methods are employed, some of which use energy and others which utilise mechanical energy. Multistage Flash Evaporation (MSF) techniques are commonly used. Essentially, the process involves gradually heating saline water to a maximum working temperature of (90 °C) to (130 °C), then flashing it in a series of phases under increasingly decreasing pressure. Each stage's vapour is condensed with entering feed water through a heat exchanger. The impact of the number of tube passes in a heat exchanger on the efficiency of a (MSF) plant was investigated, and the findings were compared to those of a (MSF) plant (Sirte City MSF plant in Libya).
