Tubular Solar Thermal Desalination Systems
摘要
Advantage of tubular solar thermal desalination system is its higher condensing surface area compared to other systems. Moreover, it can be fabricated even with low cost polyethylene sheets. In this chapter, the role of various surface coatings, energy storage materials, nano-particles, concentrators, condensing cover shape, condensing cover material, and operating pressure on performance of tubular solar desalination system has been explained in detail. Moreover, step by step detailed thermodynamic modeling along with salient features has been presented.
