using trnsys simulation to optimize the desingn of a solar water distillation system
We present the modeling, TRNSYS simulation, and parametric analysis of a solar water distillation system based on a humidification-dehumidification cycle. The thermal processes that constitute the cycle are carried out in devices designed for maximum individual efficiency. In order to achieve this,...

| Summary: | We present the modeling, TRNSYS simulation, and parametric analysis of a solar water distillation system based on a humidification-dehumidification cycle. The thermal processes that constitute the cycle are carried out in devices designed for maximum individual efficiency. In order to achieve this, it is necessary for the evaporative process (in which an air current is humidified) to happen at the highest temperature attainable without boiling. This maximizes the amount of vapor that can be carried by the air current. This process is performed in a vertical packed tower, where a stream of hot water falls as a current of hot air ascends in countercurrent and directly contacts the water. |
