TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in one of the most promising of these technologies, solar-driven humidification-dehumidification (HDH) desalination, is provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main design and performance parameters are investigated for two HDH cycles, namely, water-heated and air-heat cycles, and the design details of both the humidifier and dehumidifier are presented to determine their sizes under different design conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical model, based on the heat and mass transfer equations within the DCMD module, was used to predict the system performance at different operating conditions, and the model was validated with the experimental measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, a humidification-dehumidification (HDH) desalination system integrated with solar evacuated tubes was optimized for the operation in different geographical locations, and the rate of freshwater production and cost per liter were determined in each location.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed thermodynamic analysis of an air-heated HDH system with an integrated parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) is presented. And the authors show that the air heater placed between the humidifier and the dehumidifier has a better performance and a higher productivity.
