AB  - Abstract- Water is themost important chemical component on earth. Seawater distillation processeshave a considerable promise as a technique suitable for producing large scalequantities of potable water from the seawater. It involves a broad range oftechnologies that yield access to marginal sources of water such as seawater,brackish ground- and surface water, and wastewater. Given the reduction inaccess to fresh water in recent decades and the uncertainty in availabilityeffected by climate change, desalination is critical for ensuring the future ofhumanity. Multieffect distillation employs the same principles of multi-stageflash distillation but contrary to it, it occurs in a series of vessels(effects) and uses the principles of evaporation and condensation at reducedambient pressure. A dual-purpose desalination plant is a process that producesboth power and desalted water with the optimum use of thermal energy inproducing the two products. It offers a considerable saving in energy usage.The present paper focuses on the modelling and thermodynamic analysis of the "Multi-EffectDistillation" (MED) desalination installed in combined cycle power plant.The expected performance characteristics of the designed MED desalination plantare determined.

N2  - Water is the most importantsubstance on earth. Seawater distillation processes have a considerabletechnique suitable for producing large scale quantities of potable water. This process involves a wide range oftechnologies that yield access to different sources of water such as seawater,ground and surface water, and wastewater. Because of the reduction in access tofresh water in recent decades and the uncertainty in availability effected byclimate change, desalination is the critical process that ensure the future ofhumanity for fresh water requirement. Multi effect distillation process employsthe same principles with multi-stage flash distillation but in contrasts, itoccurs in a series of vessels (effects) and uses the principles of evaporationand condensation at reduced ambient pressure. A dual-purpose desalination planthas a process that produces both power and fresh water using optimum thermalenergy. It offers a considerable saving in energy usage. This paper focuses onthe modelling and thermodynamic analysis of the "Multi-EffectDistillation" (MED) desalination installed in combined cycle power plantand moreover the expected performance characteristics of the designed MEDdesalination plant has been determined.
