Solar desalination based on humidification process—II. Computer simulation

Performance of a 3-stage regenerative desalination system based on humidification-dehumidification process

“…Nawayseh et al [11,12] derived the following equations for the first term on the right side of Eq. (11).…”

Experimental Efficiency Investigation on Heat Recovery System Used in a Solar-Powered Desalination Process

“…This system comprises a combination of a water heater and a solar collector. Other studies by (Al-Hallaj et al, 1998;Nawayseh et al, 1997;1999a;1999b) covered additional aspects, which include modelling, evaluation of the heat and mass transfer coefficients and field performance. Al-Enezi et al (2006) measured the performance of a humidification-dehumidification system at low temperatures and reported that a low conversion ratio of less than 0.01 kg −1 product per one kg water that flows into the humidifier.…”

Desalination based on humidification–dehumidification by air bubbles passing through brackish water

“…The study reported the vapor content difference in air was approximately 110 g w /kg a at 60 • C [4], 138 g w /kg a at 60 • C [6], and 138 g w /kg a at 60 • C [7] after the 8th, 15th, 4th heating humidifying stages respectively. In addition, mathematical modeling and computer simulation studies of solar desalination units are based on the humidification-dehumidification process [9][10][11][12][13][14]. These studies focused on studying and analyzing the effects and performance of various components involved in the process.…”
