Study of thermophysical properties of a solar desalination system using solar energy

The design of a unit sweeping gas membrane distillation: experimental study on a membrane and operating parameters

“…3a. Considerable studies on DCMD have been described (Boukhriss et al 2012;Mourgues et al 2010;Mahmud et al 2002).…”

“…5 is formulated and resolved numerically on the platform, where the membrane module can be improved via a graphical interface, and the model components are linked and solved in an installation on the equations. The specifications of the components evaluated in this work are given in Table 1 and by the following equations (Alkhudhiri et al 2012;Boukhriss et al 2012;Schofield et al 1990;Lawson and Lloyd 1996).…”

“…SGMD is a module that functions as an external capacitor and is required to collect permeate, which leads to additional costs that complicate the system (Lawson and Lloyd 1997;El-Bourawi et al 2006;Curcio et al 2010). The transfer of mass and heat, the evaporation of the membrane and the distillation of the gas-flushing membrane are essential, and the difference between the evaporation of the membrane and the MD is that the evaporation of the membrane is used for the concentration of heat-sensitive solutions (Mourgues et al 2010;Mahmud et al 2002Mahmud et al ,2000 compared with MD, membrane evaporation has collected much less attention in the membrane research community; the heat and mass transfer in DM intensified since the presence of DM processes (Lawson andLloyd 1996, 1997;Alkhudhiri et al 2012;Boukhriss et al 2012;Schofield et al 1987Schofield et al ,1990Curcio and Drioli 2005;Phattaranawik et al 2003a;Zhang et al 2012Zhang et al ,2011Qtaishat et al 2008). Less than 6% of MD's publications deal with SGMD (Boukhriss et al 2012).…”

“…The processes acting on the chemical bonds and processes are being performed by phase change. This method's objective is to separate salt water desalination into two parts, namely fresh water containing a low concentration of dissolved salts and concentrate brine; this process is energy-consuming; for instance, various desalination techniques have been implemented over the years on the basis of the available energy (Boukhriss et al 2012).…”

A High Rated Solar Water Distillation Unit for Solar Homes

“…It is the major constituent of life of all creatures as well as for vegetation and sanitation. The daily demand of the fresh water is increasing day by day and seems to be increased with time (worldwide) [1]. Many countries like India, USA, UK, and China have already taken some good initiatives (by promoting solar energy) to fulfill the various demands of our routine life such as cooking, water heating, space heating and cooling, drying, distillation, and power generation [2].…”
