The optimal flow-pattern of multiple effect evaporator systems

The optimization of the flow-pattern for a multiple effect evaporator system is discussed as a vector minimum problem. First a new program to solve the design problem for various flow-patterns with no stream mixing or splitting and an arbitrary number of effects is described. Second the set of nonin...

Description
Summary:The optimization of the flow-pattern for a multiple effect evaporator system is discussed as a vector minimum problem. First a new program to solve the design problem for various flow-patterns with no stream mixing or splitting and an arbitrary number of effects is described. Second the set of noninferior flow-patterns is generated by enumerating one-by-one for all flow-patterns. This method works well in synthesizing multiple effect evaporator configuration.
