“…Borah et al [14] developed compound parabolic concentrator to increase the solar intensity for effective temperature, they were argued that solar radiation trapping time at constant temperature level was increased by 1.5 hours in comparision with to fixed compound parabolic concentrator whereas Murali et al [15] focused on experimental study of thermal performance of solar aluminium cane air heater with and without fins Further, Kedar et al focused on design and analysis of use of CPC for ground water desalination application was recommended [16,17].Whereas Murali et al [15] on the basis of experimental studies optamized the design of solar aluminium air heater with CPC for with and without latent heat storage conditions. Murali et al performed thermal analysis of One Slope Solar Unit Conjoin with Parabolic Concentrator [18,19].…”

Solar desalination system is one of the technologies which converts hard water to soft water which even is useful for drinking purpose. This paper reports the mathematical modelling of hard water desalination using hybrid (ETC + CPC) solar desalination system. This model considers various parameters such as intensity of solar radiation, atmospheric temperature, wind speed, material for compound parabolic concentrator, flow rate, concentration ratio and gives idea for system performance in terms of soft water production. Experiments were conducted at Pune City which is located in western region of India and accordingly environmental parameter are considered accordingly. It is observed that average percentage error values calculated using this proposed model to quantity soft water in comparison with actual experimental results are in the range of 3% to 5%. Hence, it is concluded that numerically calculated quantity of soft water per bottle has good agreement with analytical calculation with developed thermal model. It is evident that developed model predicts the behaviour of the actual system.

Water-energy nexus is a crucial and challenging concern that addressing it is noteworthy for the future of human beings. In addition, freshwater production is a highly energy-intensive procedure. Therefore, developing a suitable solution for this problem is of importance. In the present scenario, solar energy is one of the suitable options for desalination because solar energy is available at a low cost, is clean for the environment, and is widely available. Generally, solar collectors such as flat plate collectors (FPC) and evacuated tube collectors were experimented for desalination applications. This work presents an experimental investigation of a single-stage hybrid (ETC-CPC) groundwater solar desalination system. A compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is placed below the evacuated tube collector (ETC) for collecting solar radiations to transfer heat to evacuated tubes which improves performance in the case of different weather conditions of Pune city in India. Experimental results show that the hybrid solar groundwater desalination system, by maintaining the optimum distance of 20 mm between ETC and CPC with Mylar as the reflecting material, could offer a drinking water production rate of up to 3.4 l/(m2h)/day. However, the proposed single-stage hybrid (ETC+CPC) groundwater solar desalination system with aluminum foil as a reflecting material could generate 1.9 liters of soft water per day. Further, the use of Mylar as a reflecting material could generate 3.5 liters of soft water per day.

An experimental investigation is carried out for softening of hard water by using solar desalination system with an evacuated tube collector. The experimental study mainly involves various parameters such as the temperature of hard and soft water, an ambient temperature of water, water flow rate, intensity of solar radiation and wind velocity. The primary purpose for an experimental study to get a maximum amount of soft water using evacuated tube collector. It is observed that in evacuated tube solar collector system gives the higher outlet temperature of water and has the better results for the thermal performance of the energy system. The entire test is done for environmental and climatic conditions of Pune city which is located in the western region in India. The experimental analysis show that evacuated tube solar collector system gives 27-28 liters of soft water per day.
