    Abstract: This work focuses on a multiple effect desalination system with thermal vapor compressor (MED-TVC) operating at a top brine temperature (TBT) of 85°C which is significantly above the common operation temperatures of conventional MED-TVC systems, limited to a range below 70°C mainly due to scale risk. Such increase in TBT would enhance the productio... Show More

    Abstract: The Fe-Co-Ce nanocatalyst was synthesized by a solvothermal method and used in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. This paper represents a statistical analysis to illustrate the effects of oleylamine concentration and operating variables (temperature, pressure, inlet H2/CO molar ratio) on light olefin (C2=-C4=), paraffin (C1 + C2-C4) selectivity and CO conv...
