Method and apparatus for simultaneous heat and mass transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for heat and mass transfer is described that is applicable to: concentration, crystallization, purification, fractionation, stripping, absorption, and/or heat exchange for liquid media; drying for solid or gel media; and temperature and humidity modification for gas media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seawater desalination using Dewvaporation technique: theoretical development and design evolution
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model was developed which related the production density (kg/h.m2) to the energy reuse factor, and an approximate solution was established that could be used instead of the rigorous model to predict the EE at a given production density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seawater desalination using Dewvaporation technique: experimental and enhancement work with economic analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented experimental data using Dewvaporation towers and compared the theory for both brackish (1000 ppm) and sea waters (42,000 ppm) based on experimental data, an overall heat transfer coefficient was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brackish and seawater desalination using a 20 ft2 dewvaporation tower
TL;DR: In this article, a dew-vaporation unit was constructed out of thin water-wettable plastics and operated at pressure drops of less than 0.1″ of water.
Patent
Energy reuse regenerator for liquid desiccant air conditioners
TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for regenerating aqueous desiccants used in liquid desiccant air conditioners is described, which utilizes a desicant boiler and a desilicant evaporator/steam condenser in combination with heat exchangers.
