Augmented performance of tubular solar still integrated with cost-effective nano-based mushrooms

TL;DR: In this article, a tubular solar still (TSS) was developed via pure and nano-coated (with carbon black nanoparticles) mushrooms, where pure mushrooms were used due to their structure that allows effective vapor generation through achieving good solar absorptivity, capillary effect, and heat localization on the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing thermal performance and modeling prediction of developed pyramid solar still utilizing a modified random vector functional link

TL;DR: The present study shows the efficiency of proposed DPSS to enhance the freshwater capacity and proves that FA-RVFL can be used as an effective tool to predict the thermal performance of the solar stills compared to the other models with no need for further experiments, thus saving money, effort, and time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reverse osmosis desalination systems powered by solar energy: Preheating techniques and brine disposal challenges – A detailed review

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of the recent developments of reverse osmosis plants considering all the aforementioned parameters is presented, including specific energy consumption, freshwater cost, thermal efficiencies, configurations, water recovery factors, and water quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sea-water desalination using a desalting unit integrated with a parabolic trough collector and activated carbon pellets as energy storage medium

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel method of augmenting the water productivity of the desalination unit using sea-water as the feed water through integrating a parabolic trough collector and activated carbon pellet (a highly porous energy storage material) to improve the rates of evaporation and water production was explored.
