H. Ben Bacha et al., Study of a water desalination station using the SMCEC technique: dynamic modelling and simulation, DESALINATN, 137(1-3), 2001, pp. 53-61
The dynamic modelling and simulation of the three sections of a water desal
ination facility using the Solar Multiple Condensation Evaporation Cycle (S
MCEC) technique are presented. The models are obtained using thermal energy
and mass balances of the different sections of the unit. The resulting dis
tributed parametric systems of equations are transformed into a system of o
rdinary differential equations using the orthogonal collocation method. The
parametric study in the dynamic mode and the numerical simulation allow to
predict the behaviour of output of each of the three unit sections followi
ng variations in the internal signals and external perturbations.
