Renewable Energy Powered Desalination Handbook: Application and Thermodynamics

Description

Renewable Energy Powered Desalination Handbook: Applications and Thermodynamics offers a practical handbook on the use of renewable technologies to produce freshwater using sustainable methods. Sections cover the different renewable technologies currently used in the field, including solar, wind, geothermal and nuclear desalination. This coverage is followed by an equally important clear and rigorous discussion of energy recovery and the thermodynamics of desalination processes. While seawater desalination can provide a climate-independent source of drinking water, the process is energy-intensive and environmentally damaging. This book provides readers with the latest methods, processes, and technologies available for utilizing renewable energy applications as a valuable technology. Desalination based on the use of renewable energy sources can provide a sustainable way to produce fresh water. It is expected to become economically attractive as the costs of renewable technologies continue to decline and the prices of fossil fuels continue to increase. Covers renewable energy sources, such as nuclear, geothermal, solar and wind powered desalination and energy storage and optimization Includes energy recovery schemes, optimization and process controls Elaborates on the principles of thermodynamics and second law efficiencies to improve process performance, including solar desalination Explains global applicability of solar, wind, geothermal and nuclear energy sources with case studies Discusses renewable energy-desalinated water optimization schemes for island communities Front-Matter_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desalination-Handbook Front Matter Copyright_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desalination-Handbook Copyright Dedication_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desalination-Handbook Contributors_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desalination-Handbook Biography_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desalination-Handbook Biography Acknowledgments_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desalination-Handbook Preface_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desalination-Handbook Chapter-1---Introduction-to-Renewable-Ene_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desa Introduction to Renewable Energy Powered Desalination Chapter-2---Solar-Desalination-Potentia_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desali Chapter-3---Wind-Powered-Desalination-Principle_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powere Chapter-4---Geothermal-Source-for-Water-Desal_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered- Geothermal Source for Water Desalination-Challenges and Opportunities Chapter-5---Desalination-of-Seawater-Using-Geotherm_2018_Renewable-Energy-Po Desalination of Seawater Using Geothermal Energy for Food and Water Security: Arab and Sub-Saharan Countries Water Resources of Gulf Countries Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain Geothermal Energy Resources Kenya Chapter-6---Nuclear-Energy-Powered-Seaw_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desali Nuclear Energy Powered Seawater Desalination Chapter-7---Relevance-of-Nuclear-Desalination-as-an_2018_Renewable-Energy-Po Relevance of Nuclear Desalination as an Alternative to Water Transfer Geoengineering Projects: Example of China Introduction Data Sources and Methods Chapter-8---Desalination-Costs-Using-Renew_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Des Chapter-9---Integrated-Planning-of-Energy-_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Des Integrated Planning of Energy and Water Supply in Islands Chapter-10---Energy-Storage-for-Des_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desalinati Energy Storage for Desalination References Chapter-11---Energy-Recovery-Devices-in-Mem_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-De Energy Recovery Devices in Membrane Desalination Processes Advances in ERDs Advances in Centrifugal ERDs Removable Hydraulic Insert Technology Traditional Design Methods Chapter-12---Thermodynamic--Exergy--and-Thermoeco_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powe Thermodynamic, Exergy, and Thermoeconomic analysis of Multiple Effect Distillation Processes Chapter-13---Exergy-Analysis-of-Thermal-Seaw_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-D Exergy Analysis of Thermal Seawater Desalination-A Case Study Chapter-14---Exergy-and-Technoeconomic-Analy_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-D Exergy and Technoeconomic Analysis of Solar Thermal Desalination Index_2018_Renewable-Energy-Powered-Desalination-Handbook Index A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y
