Desalination
Exploring water desalination in an arid climate: An experimental and numerical analysis of a compact solar chimney S. Moreno; J.F. Hinojosa; German Eduardo Devora‐Isiordia A small desalination unit that evaporates water in a basin and condenses it in a chimney was tested in a desert city. A transient simulation fed with real weather data reproduced the measured hourly output and chimney temperatures well. In summer the unit yielded up to 6052 mL of fresh water, and faster airflow raised output by nearly 20%.
