Problem # 1: An MSF-OT system operates at the following conditions - Feed salinity = 45000 ppm - Heating steam temperature = 100 .C - Feed temperature = 25 .C - Production capacity = 1 kg/s - Brine blowdown temperature = 35 .C - Top brine temperature = 90 C - Terminal temperature difference in the condenser = 3 C - Thermodynamic losses = 2 C. Calculate the system performance parameters if the number of stages is equal to 30
