Which limitation occurs on a multi-stage flash desalination plant heated by geothermal energy?

💡 Explanation

Reduced phase change efficiency because geothermal brine reaching lower-pressure stages has decreasing temperature differential available for evaporation utilizing latent heat, therefore hindering rapid flash boiling, and reducing overall freshwater output rather than localized surges, because the effects are on later stages.
