Looking for the BASIC equations for the fresh water from ocean water. This being the EXTRA energy, if any, needed to boil off a given quantity of water from salt water as compared to a fresh water system.<br>
<br>
The standard steam tables do not reflect the extra energy to release the first 10% of the water. Is there any extra energy as the OCEAN water boils and pure water vapor is generated? <br>
<br>
What is the extra barrier to hold back vapor generation?
