pressure reduction can be expressed as:pressure reduction can be expressed as:
w = (Hw = (Hilil - H - Hflfl) / H) / Hfefe
wherewhere w = ratio of flash steam generated (kg flash steam w = ratio of flash steam generated (kg flash steam
/ kg condensate)/ kg condensate) HHilil = initial liquid enthalpy (kJ/kg) = initial liquid enthalpy (kJ/kg)
HHflfl = final liquid enthalpy (kJ/kg) = final liquid enthalpy (kJ/kg)

Water is boiled in a sequence of vessels, each Water is boiled in a sequence of vessels, each held at a lower pressure than the last. held at a lower pressure than the last.
Because the boiling point of water decreases Because the boiling point of water decreases as pressure decreases, the vapor boiled off in as pressure decreases, the vapor boiled off in one vessel can be used to heat the nextone vessel can be used to heat the next
Generally the first vessel (at the highest Generally the first vessel (at the highest pressure) requires an external source of heat pressure) requires an external source of heat
