Integration of Process Modeling, Design, and Optimization with an Experimental Study of a Solar-Driven Humidification and Dehumidification Desalination System

Experimental Study of Humidification-Dehumidification (HDH) Seawater Desalination Driven by Solar Energy

Experimental investigation of a solar desalination performance based on humidification-dehumidification technique with air and water closed cycle

In this study, the performance of solar desalination by humidification-dehumidification of closed air and water in Ahvaz city was investigated. This desalination includes a collector, condenser, salty water, freshwater tanks, air blower, and water pump. The evaluation of the system was done at three levels of air velocity (3, 4, and 5 m/s) and at three pump discharge levels (2, 4, and 6 liters/...

a study on the design of bio-ethanol process from date wastes of sistan and baluchistan province

اتانول کاربردهای متنوعی در صنایع لاستیک سازی، رنگسازی، حلالها ومکمل سوخت خودرو دارد. اتانول برخلاف نفت از جمله مواد تجدیدپذیر محسوب می شود که مشکلات زیست محیطی و آلودگی نیز ایجاد نمی کند. استفاده از اتانول به عنوان مکمل سوختخودروها از جمله مهمترین مصارف صنعتی این ماده بشمار می رود. با توجه به این موضوع تحقیق و توسعه در زمینه تولید اتانول با درجه خلوص بالا در سطح جهان، و نه تنها در کشور های پیشر...

Multi-Objective Optimization of the Humidification-Dehumidification Desalination System for Productivity and Size

The humidification-dehumidification system is one of the desalination technologies that can utilize non-fossil thermal sources and requires insignificant input energy. This system is usually suitable for rural areas and places far from the main sources of energy. The purpose of this study is to obtain the most suitable working conditions and dimensions of this system. In this research, thermody...

Exergy Analysis of a Solar Humidification- Dehumidification Desalination Unit

This paper presents the exergy analysis of a desalination unit using humidification-dehumidification process. Here, this unit is considered as a thermal system with three main components, which are the heating unit by using a solar collector, the evaporator or the humidifier, and the condenser or the dehumidifier. In these components the exergy is a measure of the quality or grade of energy and...
