Self-Powered Desalination of Geothermal Saline Groundwater: Technical Feasibility

Self-Powered Desalination of Geothermal Saline Groundwater: Technical Feasibility

This theoretical study shows the technical feasibility of self-powered geothermal desalination of groundwater sources at <100 °C. A general method and framework are developed and then applied to specific case studies. First, the analysis considers an ideal limit to performance based on exergy...
