Abstract

In this paper, a waste heat liquid-liquid extraction method is considered for the seawater desalination. The mathematical model is a result of mass and energy balances, phase behaviour and salt distribution in the two phases. Because of the high non-linearity of the phase behaviour and the salt distribution these are being approximated by the use of piecewise linear approximations methods and the solutions are presented. The results indicate that the quality of solution is not affected by the use of the approximation.
