Dehumidification

Using air as a carrier gas is common in humidification–dehumidification desalination processes. A computer program was written using mass and energy balances for modeling the process behavior. The parameters considered in this work were inlet air and fresh water recycle temperatures, inlet air flow

A numerical study has been carried out to investigate the transient thermal performance of a naturally circulated humidifying/dehumidifiying solar still. A comparison of forced circulation performance and the influence of different environmental, design, and operational parameters on the still produ

Major desalination processes consume a large amount of energy derived from oil and natural gas as heat and electricity. Solar desalination, although researched for over two decades, has only recently emerged as a promising renewable energy-powered technology for producing fresh water. Solar desalina

A thermodynamic simulation study was performed on the influence of greenhouse-related parameters on a desalination process that combines fresh water production using humidification–dehumidification with the growth of crops in a greenhouse. With the system under study, surface seawater trickles down

The humidification–dehumidification process (HD) is an interesting technique adapted for water desalination when the demand is decentralized. This technique presents several advantages such as flexibility in capacity, moderate installation and operating costs, simplicity, possibility of using low te
