"Exergetic analysis of the humidification-dehumidificationdesalination " by Sidra Zahid, Shafiq Ur Rehman Qureshi et al.
Saline water desalination is attaining a prime focus to meet the challenges of water scarcity in the developing countries. Solar energy could be effectively utilized for desalinating the saline/sea water. In this respect, humidification dehumidification (HDH) cycle could prove as a promising solar driven desalination technology. In this paper, exergy analysis of single extraction air heated and water heated HDH desalination cycles are examined in detail. The top temperature and extraction rate parameters are considered crucial for any typical single extraction HDH cycle. Analysis of the effect...
