Phase change materials (PCMs) in thermal energy storage can improve energy efficiency and sustainability, which notably makes them a potential solution to the problems of energy …
Here we present a new compact design of a vertical water distillation tower based on solar stills. The experimental setup consisted of a vertical tower with five water trays, supported by …
Tubular solar still is a simple light-weight desalination unit with a large condensing surface compared with other types of solar stills. Regrettably, it suffers from the low water yield like …
In this study, a coupled multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) model with an artificial rabbits optimizer (ARO) is developed to predict the water productivity of different designs of solar …
This study investigates the application of a coupled multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) model with Archimedes optimizer (AO) to predict characteristics of dissimilar lap joints made of …
In this study, an optimized artificial intelligence model is developed to predict the kerf quality characteristics in laser cutting of basalt fibers reinforced polymer composites. The model is …
The present study deals with the emhancement of thermophysical properties of paraffin wax using Silver nanoparticles and to study the feasibility of its application in a stepped solar still …
As well known, the solar distiller is one of the introduced solutions to the freshwater shortage problem, but it is demerited by the low freshwater output. In this paper, a design modification …
The accessibility to freshwater suitable for human use is a modern problem in many countries of the world. One of the well-known methods to overcome this problem is the …
