2 Reliable and rigid system.
3 Require minimal conventional pretreatment for feedwater.
4 Capacity to use low waste thermal heat (low grade) from power plants to save energy.
5 Economical system if a heat source is available.
6 Easy in maintenance.
Disadvantages of thermal distillation:
1 The amount of water production depends on feed thermo‐physical properties (Tf, xf, …).
2 Tube scaling (CaSO4).
3 High value of SEC specially at elevated values of thermal performance.

1 Explain heat transfer phenomenon.
2 Identify the process type.
Solution
1 Since T1 > T2, it is clear that steam is subjected to heat loss.Since , then . Since T1 > T2, then h2 – h1 is negative, which indicate that heat transfer sign is negative, implying that heat is lost from the system (steam) to the surrounding.
2 Isobaric process.

1 Describe boiling phenomenon in MEE system.
2 Why kinetic and potential energy terms have been neglected from energy balance (first law of thermodynamics)? Explain.
3 Explain the process associated with change of water droplet phase that surrounds the exterior pipe wall. What is the type of evaporation process?

Example 1.2 Flashing Phenomenon
Adiabatic rigid tank (control mass) is divided into two nonequal volumes: A and B by a flexible membrane. Part A contains H2O liquid at 7 kg, 220 kPa,

1 What is the type of water evaporation process?
2 Final specific volume.
3 Final pressure.
4 Equations that represent exergy destruction (irreversibility).
Solution
1 Flashing process, where sudden drop in pressure causes water to evaporate via flashing, it is always associated with lightning and heat release.
