  Estimating the feasibility of intensifying thermal mechanisms in MSF plant is investigated by employing Enhanced Tubing Test Apparatus for heat transfer characterization with conventional type. Utilizing actual Brine water, study the influence of flow speeds on fouling pattern and the effect of tube diameter on its behaviour. Experimental results are discussed for both smooth and corrugated tube, when applying fresh and real brine water on different tube diameters 19.05, 23 and 29.5, on flow speeds 0.1, 0.1645 and 0.2398 m/s. Apparatus (A) has to be redesigned, since problems were developed through its components. Difficulties revealed with former test-rig, are given a careful consideration in assembly of a new one. The modified set-up facilities included a new configured design for the steam condenser, equipped in such a way to minimize mentioned obstacles, dismantli.. View More»
