A Mathematical Model for The Reverse Osmosis Mode Used for Treating Water In Electrical Power Stations

Abstract

In this investigation, a mathematical model is built and solved withcomputer programs to get results for the design calculations of the reverse osmosismode used to remove salt from the river water before being utilized in the boilersof electrical power stations in Iraq. The principles of the reverse osmosis mode ,the conditions and factors affecting their operation, are discussed .The number ofstages with their arraements in the reverse osmosis mode are calculated using thecascades theory for the first time.A mathematical model and computer programs including all the mentioned casesare built and applied on the reverse osmosis mode of AL-Nassiriya and AL-Dauraelectrical power stations. The results of these calculations are compared with thepractical results and showed a good agreement .
