A theoretical comparison of neural network (NnM) and thermodynamic (ThM) models is carried out to estimate on-line the coefficient of performance (COP) in an absorption heat transformer integrated with a water purification process (AHT–WP). The NnM has been computed for16 variables measured by senso

The paper presents the results of a feasibility study to assess the potential of ambient energy in producing low-cost desalinated water. The proposed method uses conventional off-the-shelf desalination equipment linked up to an innovative energy harvesting system made of extruded aluminium planks wh

It is known that power stations use seawater for condensation of steam from turbines. In this case the temperature of seawater in condensers increases by 10–20°C. A large quantity of heat is lost in condensers. The energy can be used for desalination of seawater in a plant, which includes a low temp
