Basin-Type Solar Thermal Desalination Systems

Basin-type solar thermal desalination system is the oldest among various solar thermal desalination technologies. However, understanding this system will facilitate peers to design and develop improved versions. How desalinated water productivity can be improved by various modifications ranging from basic to advanced techniques has been discussed in detail. Moreover, step by step procedure for estimating basin solar thermal desalination system performance through detailed thermodynamic modeling has been also presented.
