Computer Codes for Office of Saline Water Program Analysis. Part 5. MSF-21: A Fortran Code for the Rapid Calculation or Optimization of Multistage Flash (MSF) Desalination Plants.

摘要

MSF21 is a Fortran IV program for the design and costing of a multistage flash (MSF) distillation plant. The design may be optimized if desired. The plant consists of a recovery section, reject section, and brine heater and associated buildings and equipment. Operating costs and direct and indirect capital costs for plant, buildings, site and intakes are calculated. Design computations are based on the first and last stages of each section and a typical middle recovery stage; as a result the program runs rapidly but does not give stage by stage parameters. The program may be used either as part of ECON21 or as a separate program, PROC21.
