This study proposes a multi-objective optimization (MOO) of reverse osmosis (RO) networks for seawater desalination. The membrane transport model takes into consideration of the longitudinal variation of the velocity, the pressure, and the concentration in the membrane modules. The RO network with t

As known, positive displacement (PD) energy recovery device (ERD) transfers hydraulic energy from the ejected brine of the RO modules directly to the seawater feed and its energy recovery efficiency achieved can be as high as 95% or more. The PD type ERD has been concerned widely in the market place

The film thickness distribution and average thickness outside a horizontal test tube were measured with a filmthickness meter. The effects of liquid load, evaporation boiling point, temperature difference and tube diameter on the film thickness, the waving intensity and, as a result, the heat-transf

The effects of liquid load, tube diameter, evaporation boiling point, condensation temperature difference and steam flow velocity on the heat-transfer film coefficients inside horizontal tubes were studied. The experiments were conducted with various operation parameters. In fact, if there is little
