Comparative Study for Evaluation of Mass Flow Rate for Simple Solar Still and Active with Heat Pump
Journal Title: Journal of Water and Environmental Nanotechnology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In isolated and arid areas, especially in the almost Maghreb regions, the abundant solar radiation intensity along the year and the available brackish water resources are the two favorable conditions for using solar desalination technology to produce fresh water. The present study is based on the use of three groups of correlation, for evaluating mass transfer. Theoretical results are compared with those obtained experimentally for a Simple Solar Distiller (SSD) and a Simple Solar Distiller Hybrid with a Heat Pump (SSDHP) stills. Experimental results and those calculated by Lewis number correlation show good agreements. Results obtained by Dunkle, Kumar and Tiwari correlations are not satisfactory with the experimental ones. Theoretical results, as well as statistical analysis, are presented. The model with heat pump ( for two configurations (111) and (001) give more output compared with the model without heat pump ((000) and (110)). This results where agree for the use of the statistic results, the error it less with Lewis number as compared with the different correlation.
Van der Waals corrected DFT study on the adsorption behaviors of TiO2 anatase nanoparticles as potential molecule sensor for thiophene detection

Comparison of Kaolin and chemical source for preparation of Nano pore NaA Zeolite membranes
Zeolite membranes have uniform and nano-sized pores, and they separate molecules based on differences in the molecules size and diffusion properties. Different routes used to prepare zeolite composite membranes include g...
The Potential of ZnO Nanoparticles to Reduce Water Consuming in Iranian Heavy Oil Reservoir
Water is critically important, because its supply is under stress. In oil fields, the ratio-of-water-tooil (WCUT%) can be 95% or higher. Managing this produced water is a great challenge whereas the best opportunity to r...
