Dynamic Modeling and Preliminary Performance Analysis of a New Solar Thermal Reverse Osmosis Desalination Process

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a desalination technique that is commonly preferred because of its low energy consumption. In this paper, an innovative, thermally powered RO desalination process is presented. This new thermo-hydraulic process uses solar thermal energy in order to realize the pressurization...
