Mechanical vapor-compression desalination process (MVC) is the most attractive and valuable among different single stage desalination processes. The MVC system is compact, confined, and does not require external heating source, which is opposite to thermal, absorption, or adsorption vapor compression. The system is driven by electric power; therefore, it is suitable for remote population areas with access to power grid lines. Another advantage of the MVC system is the absence of the down condenser and the cooling water requirements.

In this sub-blocks:1. User has the ability to control or specify the environmental conditions such as solar radiation (Is=W/m2).2. Solar radiation signal colored with orange.3. Solar ORC is used to desalinate seawater by the aid of mED-PF-MVC configuration.4. Thermophysical streams, energy, exergy, cost, and thermoeconomics are calculated.5. User can reform the model based on his need.
