Civilizations have started and flourished along river banks which can be understood from historical literatures. This precious resource has also been a cause for lot of past and current wars & conflicts among different ethnic groups and nations around the globe. In current scenario, access to clean drinking water is getting harder and more expensive for most of the population in the middle and low income countries. This book covers the basics and advancements in various solar thermal desalination systems that are highly affordable and viable even for applications in low income countries. The main features of the book are; ► Provides detailed knowledge on effectively utilizing solar energy for desalination for fulfilling clean water supply demands ► Presents detailed thermodynamic modeling of various solar thermal desalination systems ► Highlights the role of solar thermal distillation process in wastewater treatment and improved sanitation through case study ► Provides detailed methodology for assessing the economics, environmental footprints and sustainability of desalination systems Contents 1 Introduction 2 Solar Radiation Potential: Modeling, Measurement and Utilization 3 Basin Type Solar Thermal Desalination Systems 4 Tilted Solar Thermal Desalination Systems 5 Tubular Solar Thermal Desalination Systems 6 Stepped Solar Thermal Desalination Systems 7 Multi-Effect/Stage Solar Thermal Desalination Systems 8 Multi-Effect Tubular Solar Thermal Desalination Systems 9 Vertical Convection Solar Thermal Desalination Systems 10 Vertical Diffusion Solar Thermal Desalination Systems 11 Hybrid Solar Chimney – Thermal Desalination Systems 12 Solar Thermal Wastewater Treatment Systems 13 Environmental Footprints, Economics and Sustainability Appendix
