This paper reveals the results of a study aimed at identifying the seasonal influence of dust deposition on a large field of evacuated tube collectors associated with a multiple-effect distillation plant on the performance of the plant. The system is located near the city of Abu Dhabi, UAE, and the

The objective of this paper is to compare the economics of using solar energy to operate small multiple effect seawater distillation systems in remote areas with the conventional method of using fossil fuels. The particular multiple effect system used is an advanced horizontal tube, falling film sys

This paper reviews the state of the art of cogeneration for power and distillation. The performance of several cogeneration options are considered in association with the MSF process for seawater desalination. Both full load and part load characteristics of each major commercial cogeneration process
