A review on polymer heat exchangers for HVAC&R applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the material properties of polymers are examined, as well as the current state of the art of polymer matrix composites, and it is shown that these materials do hold promise for use in the construction of heat exchangers in HVAC&R applications, but that a considerable amount of research is still required into material properties and life-time behavior.

Technical and economic evaluation of distillation and reverse osmosis desalination processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that distillation in large dual plant is still competitive with seawater reverse osmosis, for Middle East conditions, even though a larger number of units are needed.

The application of solar energy for large-scale seawater desalination
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of solar pond and low temperature multi-effect distillation (LT-MED) provides the lowest solar desalinated water costs, ranging from 67-88¢ depending on interest rate, local insolination, actual pond cost and performance, and are competitive with lowest cost desalined water from a fossil fueled plant, an LT-MED within an electric power cogeneration scheme, when heavy fuel (No. 6) prices are above $150-220/ton.

Heat transfer in thin film-type evaporator with profile tubes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured local and average heat transfer coefficients in water film evaporation on horizontal profile tubes and showed that the use of longitudinally profile tubes makes it possible to increase, with an account of development of the heat exchange surface, the heat transfer from the wall to the film of the flowing-down liquid by a factor of 1.35-1.85.
