Modelling and Simulation of Humidification-Dehumidification Process for Seawater Desalination Dual Powered by Biomass and Solar Energy

The use of solar thermal energy for water desalination processes is increasing rapidly, particularly in areas where these resources are plentiful. However, solar energy plants are highly affected by the intermittency of day –night cycles and by low irradiation seasons. Although biomass fuel can be u...
