Experimental analysis of solar distillation unit with various slope angles

Effect of Various Dyes on Solar Distillation

-An analytical and experimental study of the effect of adding dyes to a solar distillation unit is reported in this paper. The analytical model developed treats the transient heat transfer inside the dye solution as one dimensional. The bulk fluid is discretized into layers with conduction, convection and radiation interactions occurring between them. Coupled with this is the energy exchange fr...

Experimental Study of a Solar Adsorption Refrigeration Unit, Factorial Analysis

An experimental study was performed on an adsorption refrigeration unit powered by a solar energy and equipped with three different types of activated carbon (1: Coconut, 2: Palm seeds, 3: Charcoal). In this Study design, factorial analysis and optimization of a prototype unit were described. The activated carbon coupled with methanol was used as an adsorbent-adsorbate pairs. Experimental tests...

An experimental study of solar thermal vacuum membrane distillation desalination

An experimental desalination system coupling a vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) unit and a vacuum tube solar heat collection (SHC) unit was developed and tested. The parametric sensitivity of the VMD unit performance was investigated first using an electric heater as the heat source, and then the whole system was examined using solar heat. It was revealed that hot feed temperatures higher tha...
