Journal ArticleDOI
A salt-rejecting floating solar still for low-cost desalination
George Ni,Seyed Hadi Zandavi,Seyyed Morteza Javid,Svetlana V. Boriskina,Thomas Cooper,Gang Chen +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a salt-rejecting evaporation structure that can operate continuously under sunlight to generate clean vapor while floating in a saline body of water such as an ocean is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contactless steam generation and superheating under one sun illumination.
Thomas Cooper,Seyed Hadi Zandavi,George Ni,Yoichiro Tsurimaki,Yi Huang,Svetlana V. Boriskina,Gang Chen +6 more
TL;DR: Solar steam generation is limited by fouling of solar converters, and the steam temperature is usually pinned to 100 °C, but both limitations are overcome in a system utilizing a solar absorber and light down-converter to achieve radiative heating, which does not require physical contact between absorbers and water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capillary Condensation in 8 nm Deep Channels
Junjie Zhong,Jason Riordon,Seyed Hadi Zandavi,Yi Xu,Aaron Persad,Aaron Persad,Farshid Mostowfi,David Sinton +7 more
TL;DR: This work studies the condensation of n-propane down to 8 nm confinement in a nanofluidic system, distinct from previous studies at ∼100 nm, demonstrating that this 8 nm nonpolar fluid system can be treated as a continuum from a thermodynamic perspective, despite having only 10-20 molecular layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condensation in One-Dimensional Dead-End Nanochannels.
Junjie Zhong,Seyed Hadi Zandavi,Huawei Li,Bo Bao,Aaron H. Persad,Farshid Mostowfi,David Sinton +6 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that with confinement at sub-100 nm scales, condensation conditions deviate from the microscale and larger bulk conditions chiefly due to vapor flow and interface resistances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bubble nucleation and growth in nanochannels.
Bo Bao,Seyed Hadi Zandavi,Huawei Li,Junjie Zhong,Arnav Jatukaran,Farshid Mostowfi,David Sinton +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that cavitation pressure in the nanochannels corresponds closer to the spinodal limit than that predicted from classical nucleation theory, which indicates that hydrocarbons remain in the liquid phase in nano-sized pores under pressures much lower than the saturation pressure.
