Mass and Heat Balance Calculations

The document provides equations for mass balance, salt balance, and heat balance calculations for a desalination plant. The mass balance equation states that the mass flow rate of the feed seawater equals the sum of the distillate and rejected brine flow rates. The salt balance equation relates the salinity and flow rates of the feed, distillate, and brine. The heat balance equations calculate heat transfer based on temperature differences and heat transfer areas.
