Performance evaluation of an HDH desalination system using direct contact packed towers: experimental and mathematical modeling study

Experimental study of desalination using direct contact membrane distillation: a new approach to flux enhancement

New membrane distillation configurations and a new membrane module were investigated to improve water desalination. The performances of three hydrophobic microporous membranes were evaluated under vacuum enhanced direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) with a turbulent flow regime and with a feed water temperature of only 40 ◦C. The new configurations provide reduced temperature polarizatio...

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

Simulation of Hdh Desalination System Using Tilted, Two-pass Solar Air Heater

The present work represents a theoretical investigation of the performance of a solar air-heated desalination system using humidification-dehumidification (HDH) technique based on closed-water, open-air cycle under the geographical conditions of Dhahran (26.5°N, 50.2°E), Saudi Arabia. The HDH desalination system is suitable for small-scale decentralized fresh water production. It essentially co...

Numerical Modeling and Experimental Study of Air Flow in theYazdi Wind-Towers

This paper is an attempt to Numerical Modeling and Experimental Study of Air Flow in the Yazdi Wind-Towers. Wind Towers has been known as one of the most effective climatic elements in Iranian traditional architecture. This paper is an attempt to evaluating Yazdi wind-tower to discussion the two main questions: 1. What is the role of Orientation of wind-towers span, regarding to climate and he...
