This book is primarily intended to serve as a textbook and
reference work for graduate and professional training coursework on
solar desalination of water. The book begins with an introduction
to the increasing demand for potable water, various types of water
pollution and its impacts on human health, and goes on to cover
basics of desalination technologies. It covers all aspects of
solar-energy based distillation and desalination for producing
potable water resources, including radiation and heat transfer
concepts, a history of solar distillation systems, and background
on solar collectors. The contents include thermal modeling and
parametric study of solar distillation. Energy and exergy aspects
are analyzed in detail, including energy matrices of solar
distillation. A special chapter on exeroeconomics introduces
fundamental equations which include the general balance equation,
thermodynamic balance equations, and economic balance equations. A
chapter on Economic Analysis of Solar Distillation completes the
coverage. The book includes solved examples and end-of-chapter
exercises in the form of both problems and objective-type
questions. The contents of this book are useful to students,
researchers, professionals, and policymakers looking for a
comprehensive resource on solar desalination.
