Performance Evaluation of Geothermal Integrated Desalination Double Effect Evaporator (DEE) with or Without Steam Jet Ejector with Software Simulation

Abstract

This work offers an extensive framework for the performance evaluation of a Geothermal integrated Double effect evaporator (DEE)with or without steam jet ejector for delivering 1.0Kg/s freshwater. Utilization of low enthalpy Geothermal energy in numerous applications, including Desalination and their potential incorporation with thermal-based desalination framework is an environmentally friendly solution for water desalination, to satisfaction of worldwide water emergencies. The geothermal integrated DoubleEffect Evaporator designed by comparing results obtained from the manual calculation, Excel, and MATLAB/Simulink. So, as to have a good and optimized design, manual, Excel, and MTALB/Simulink calculations are approximately the same with a minor difference. Various parameters, which can conceivably change the results of the evaluation were picked to examine their effect on design. These parameters include boiling temperature, Intake seawater temperature, heating steam temperature (Geothermal fluid temperature), feed water quality, quality of Geothermal resources. By changing their values, the detail of our basic model results was assessed.
