“…The traditional analysis is majorly focused on evaluating the consequence of both process and geometric variables. However, in recent studies, the combined analysis of fiscal and process variables gained remarkable importance on the exergoeconomic performance [7,24]. The primary reason is that the system operating with different economic variables i.e., interest rate, electricity cost, and intake chemical cost would have different operation cost (OC) with like thermal and hydraulic performance [6,18].…”

“…Plate heat exchangers (PHXs) are widely used for heat recovery in thermalbased desalination units as a preheater. The plate heat exchanger offers many benefits including narrow temperature control (ΔT ≤ 5°C), easy maintenance and cleaning, margin to accommodate different loads, and high operational reliability [7]. Furthermore, it is significant to indicate that PHXs as preheaters have rarely been examined in thermal-based desalination units from an optimized cost design and analysis viewpoint [8].…”

Heat exchangers are the mainstay of thermal systems and have been extensively used in desalination systems, heating, cooling units, power plants, and energy recovery systems. This chapter demonstrates a robust theoretical framework for heat exchangers investigation based on two advanced tools, i.e., exergoeconomic analysis and Normalized Sensitivity Analysis. The former is applied as a mutual application of economic and thermodynamic analyses, which is much more impactful than the conventional thermodynamic and economic analyses. This is because it allows the investigation of combinatory effects of thermodynamic and fiscal parameters which are not achieved with the conventional methods. Similarly, the Normalized Sensitivity Analysis allows a one-on-one comparison of the sensitivity of output parameters to the input parameters with entirely different magnitudes on a common platform. This rationale comparison is obtained by normalizing the sensitivity coefficients by their nominal values, which is not possible with the conventional sensitivity analyses. An experimentally validated example of a plate heat exchanger is used to demonstrate the application of the proposed framework from a desalination system.

“…In another study, an exergoeconomic analysis of a forward-feed multi-effect mechanical VC desalination system has been performed. The quantities of specific energy consumption, exergy efficiency and cost of production for this analysis are calculated to be between 7.67 and 11.36 kWh/m 3 , 7 and 11% and 0.86-1.19 $/m 3 , respectively (Jamil and Zubair 2017). In this study, the associated cost with each component is presented in Table 11: In 2017, an exergoeconomic evaluation of a CSP plant in combination with a desalination system has been performed.…”

Water and energy are two key factors in human life that always control the growth and development of human societies. Climate changes, increasing the population in urban areas and industrialization, have increased the demands for freshwater around the world. Estimates show that a small percentage of all freshwater produced in the world is from renewable sources. By developing the technology, lowering equipment prices and increasing attention to the environmental problems of fossil fuels, utilizing renewable energy is growing. By providing a wide variety of conventional desalination methods driven by various types of renewable energy technologies in the world, water and energy legislators should choose different methods to meet the needs based on the local potentials by paying attention to the desalination processes and power systems. In some cases, concentrated solar power for thermal desalination or electricity generated by the photovoltaic plants for membrane desalination systems can be used in arid areas. Definitely, the most problem of using renewable sources is their unsteady natures, which using storage systems or combining with other renewable sources can solve this problem. This chapter provides extensive information about renewables, desalination and performance analysis of power systems. Reverse osmosis technique is a practical process in desalination which 69% of desalination plants use this system. Solar energy is an important source of energy for hybrid systems. The geothermal has a steady performance at a specified depth. Ultimately, obtained results from energy and exergy analysis would have provided a better insight.
