NEUP CINR-20-19216: Creation of Multiple Effect Evaporator and Combined Cycle Modelica Modules, and Optimization of Potable Water Generation from Saltwater Sources

The goal of this research is to develop models for multiple effect evaporator units, a combined cycle power cycle in the Modelica framework and a simple model to determine the make-up water rate for evaporative condensers like power plant cooling towers. The models will be capable of being implemented in grid independent / near independent energy parks located about military based, large manufacturing facilities, and in small communities.
