Theoretical and experimental investigation of humidification–dehumidification desalination unit

Solar water desalination using an air bubble column humidifier

“…11, when the inlet water temperature has increased from 45 to 70°C, the enhancement of presenting results is approximately 4-58% of Amer et al [10], 22-206% from Zhani [12], and 30-270% of Garg et al [7]. It can be noted that the present work achieved higher productivity than that listed for previous systems.…”

“…The productivity of the unit was strongly affected by the cooling water flow rate, airflow rate, and total solar energy incident through the daytime. Amer et al [10] investigated experimentally and theoretically the effect of operating parameters on the characteristics of a humidification-dehumidification desalination system. The system was based on a closed cycle for the airstream and an open cycle for water.…”

Effect of entropy generation on the performance of humidification-dehumidification desalination cycles

“…In order to further validate the model presented here, the results were compared to the trends observed in the paper by Amer et al [24]. Amer et al performed both theoretical and experimental analysis of a CAOW-WH cycle and presented trends of how various parameters such as temperatures and humidity ratios within the system vary with respect to the system top temperature.…”

Humidification–dehumidification desalination process driven by photovoltaic thermal energy recovery (PV-HDH) for small-scale sustainable water and power production

“…In the solar still of Fath et al [2], for example, the system productivity was partially improved from 5.2 to 5.3 L/m 2 by decreasing airflow rate from 0.1 to 0.001 kg/s using natural circulation system. Also, Velmurugan et al attempted to improve solar still productivity by 29.6% by integrating fins at the still basin [4].…”
