Seawater Desalination in a Direct Contact Heat Exchanger: Global and Local Model Results

Abstract

As the world population and the industrial and residential demands increase, it becomes important to compensate for the potable water shortage. To overcome the aforementioned crisis, several desalination techniques have been used for many years. In this work, we develop and implement global and local models to manifest the effectiveness of direct contact heat exchange in desalination of seawater. Direct contact processes offer many advantages such as low cost, absences of scale build-up and resistance of the heat transmitting material. The global model results show that about 65% of thermal seawater evaporation is possible. Local model, based on evaporation of one single droplet, was used to establish sizing parameters on the heat exchanger, e.g., evaporator length, crosssection area, and volume. It was shown of the seawater to have a short evaporation length
