چکیده
This paper presents a hybrid solar desalination system consisting of a humidification dehumidification unit and single stage flashing evaporation unit. The hybrid solar desalination system was studied numerically. The heat and mass transfer and flow field is modeled theoretically in two-dimensional using finite difference scheme. For different operating and weather conditions the fresh water productivity and salinity are computed. The model is developed to investigate the steady-state behavior of each component of the system. The results show that, the studied hybrid desalination system give a significant operational compatibility between the air humidification dehumidification method and flash evaporation desalination.
