Different techniques have been proposed so far to improve the performance of thermal-driven membrane modules applied in solar desalination systems. These techniques have increased the freshwater productivity of the system but at the cost of its increased overall specific energy requirement. Due to this major drawback, the main objective of this study is to implement nanofluid in the feed stream of a heat pipe solar membrane-based desalination system, which not only aims to improve the freshwater productivity of the system, but also has the capability of decreasing its specific energy requirement. Synthetic seawater (with the salinity of 3.5%) was generated …

The role of cooling and air-conditioning systems in submarines is assessed as indispensable, and a reliable water supply is essential for both crew and equipment. At the same time, the large amounts of high-temperature exhaust fumes discharged from submarine engines provide an excellent opportunity to recover and apply this waste energy in required applications. This paper introduces a novel multipurpose desalination, cooling, and air-conditioning system to recover waste heat from both the exhaust fumes and the cooling water of submarine engines. The whole system is mathematically modelled and analysed based on the actual thermo-physical parameters of the engine's exhaust fumes. …
