The following figure shows the brine circulation in Multi-Stage Flash (MSF) desalination process. Describe in detail the different thermal processes that take place on the seawater starting from the intake until it is ejected as a brine blow-down. Explain why does feed seawater is mixed first at the brine pool of the last stage?
