Abstract:

Despite the importance of the desalination process in removal of water salinity to produce fresh drinking water, it is an energy-consuming process. Therefore, the use of solar energy as an alternative and free energy source has an important role in enhancing the efficiency of the desalination process. This paper presents an experimental investigation using solar chimney to enhance the desalination process, where a modification to the conventional solar stills has been made. A mathematical model describing air flow inside the solar chimney has been constructed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The commercial CFD package fluent release 6.3 has been used in this paper to express the air flow and temperature distribution inside solar chimney. Furthermore, the process parameters such as seasonal temperature, salt concentration, water depth and type of solar desalination unit have been examined to find the best operating conditions. The desalination process has been recommended to be carried out under permissible operating conditions in sunny days, with water depths ranging from (1-2 cm) and low salt concentration ranging from (3.5-8%). The modeled data has been verified with experimental data and the verification results have been estimated at 14%. Simulation results showed that water desalination has been improved by 30%.
