Advances in Sustainable Humidification-Dehumidification Thermal Desalination Systems: 4E Analysis, Process Integration, and Materials presents the newest developments in humidification–dehumidification (HDH) systems and improvements in their applications for reducing energy usage.This book is split into three parts, first outlining principles, analysis, and optimization of HDH technology, its economy, its impacts on the environment, and a multistage approach for maximizing energy efficiency. This is followed by practical guides on implementing sustainable HDH systems within a variety of hybridization scenarios. Finally, this book provides an evaluation of different packing materials for HDH desalination units.Showing how the major advances in this technology impact the energy requirements of fresh-water production, Advances in Sustainable Humidification-Dehumidification Thermal Desalination Systems: 4E Analysis, Process Integration, and Materials takes readers from fundamental principles to sustainable real-world applications of HDH thermal desalination systems. - Presents the fundamentals, principles, and technological overview of HDH desalination systems for lowering energy expenditure - Details the modeling, application, and integration of HDH desalination systems in a variety of scenarios, as well as material evaluation/selection - Employs a mixture of methods, analysis, and applications to ensure readers not only understand the fundamentals but can also apply these across a range of real-world scenarios - Provides a guide to implementing the possibilities of HDH desalination through renewable and low-grade energy sources for a sustainable future
