چکیده
This study focuses on developing a prototype for seawater desalination system powered by solarpanel. The process is heated solar collector and 150 WP panel. primaryobjective to design, develop, evaluate the prototype's efficacy, affordability, scalability.The efficiency was measured quantity of freshwater produced per unit energy. Ofthe three distillation tests, it determined that addition heater enhanced theperformance system. However, overall limited due panel andcollector's low heat output. A positive correlation observed between irradiance andtemperature, but incomplete evaporation indicated need additional research optimizethe process. consisted collector, heater, apparatus. Threedistillation tests revealed improved system's performance,resulting in maximum achievable 0.99% production 16 ml fresh water.This demonstrates potential renewable energy sources power seawaterdesalination lays groundwork future sustainable technologies despite itslimitations.

متن کاملSeawater desalination using renewable energy sources
The origin and continuation of mankind is based on water. Water is one of the most abundant resources on earth, covering three-fourths of the planet’s surface. However, about 97% of the earth’s water is salt water in the oceans, and a tiny 3% is fresh water. This small percentage of the earth’s water—which supplies most of human and animal needs—exists in ground water, lakes and rivers. The onl...
متن کاملSolar-powered Desalination in a Remote Town in South Australia
Abstract: Coober Pedy is a remote town in South Australia with abundant solar radiation and scarce and low quality water, where a reverse osmosis plant has been operating since 1967. This paper evaluates the feasibility of powering the plant with solar or photovoltaic (PV) panels whilst avoiding energy storage in batteries. Pilot tests were performed in October 2005 with a small scale PV-powere...
متن کاملEnergy consumption and water production cost of conventional and renewable-energy-powered desalination processes
Desalination technologies improve water quality, greatly reduce water shortage problems, and improve quality of life and economic status. Two main technologies are currently used in water desalination: thermal (phase-change) processes and membrane processes. The primary thermal distillation processes include multistage flash distillation (MSF), multi-effect distillation (MED), and vapor compres...
