The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.6 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00072 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.43 SJR: 0.318 SNIP: 0.568 CiteScore™:: 3.5 H-Index: 28

ABSTRACT

Spray evaporation desalination technology has the potential to improve the performance of thermal desalination plants and make thermal desalination more competitive and appealing. For a better understanding of the seawater evaporation process, a mathematic model has been presented with consideration of the motion, heat transfer of the droplet, and performance of the evaporator based on droplet analysis. The model has been validated against experimental data, and simulation results showed good agreement with experiments with a discrepancy below 10%. The model can be used to evaluate water productivity and thermal utilization accurately, which are critical to the design of the evaporator. Research results revealed that smaller droplets and lower initial velocity lead to a high thermal utilization, while superheat degree has a marginal effect on thermal utilization. The merits of flash evaporation can make it operate at larger superheat with higher thermal utilization and water productivity while multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) needs more stages to eliminate non-equilibrium temperature differences.
