The transient performance of a stepped solar still with built-in latent heat thermal energy storage was studied. The still was designed for heating and humidification of agriculture greenhouses (GH) in remote areas. The solar still consists of five stepped basins with an inclined glass cover and is

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

The evaporation of a thin liquid film flowing down on the internal face of one plate of a vertical channel is studied. The wet plate is subjected to a uniform heat flux while the second plate is taken isothermal and impermeable. The governing equations in the liquid and in the gas regions with the b

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
Desalination 160 (2004)

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
