Recent advances in solar-cell technology and membrane-separation technology do promise the economic viability of distributed seawater and brackish-water solar desalting systems in the near future. Reverse osmosis desalting processes driven by photovoltaic solar electricity can have the potential of

One of the goals of sustainable development is higher fuel efficiency at lower product cost for systems that use or produce power and heat. This paper presents a second-law-based methodology that aims at this goal. The methodology allows the intensive analysis of design concepts in order to reveal o
