Abstract

In the current research, a novel modification of the hemicylindrical solar still (HCSS) is proposed by integrating chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) and N-methyl-2-pyrolidone (NMP) coatings, with its performance evaluated using the comprehensive 10E analysis framework. Experimental comparisons were conducted between the conventional HCSS (CSS) and the modified HCSS (MHCSS). The results demonstrated that the MHCSS achieved an average freshwater yield of 0.533 L/m², which is approximately 52 % higher than the CSS (0.35 L/m²). Similarly, the MHCSS attained a maximum energy efficiency of 36.83 % and exergy efficiency of 27.43 %, compared to 22.7 % and 18.24 %, respectively, for the CSS. From an economic perspective, the modified system achieved a unit cost of water (UAC) of 31.88, demonstrating its cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, the MHCSS achieved a net CO₂ reduction of 50 tons, confirming its environmental sustainability. For lifespan scenarios of 15, 20, and 30 years, the enviroeconomic and energoenvironmental parameters were found to be 155.1, 190.4, and 296.4, and 10.69, 14.76, and 22.89, respectively. The proposed modification not only improves productivity and efficiency but also enhances environmental performance and long-term economic viability. Overall, the integration of CPVC/NMP coatings introduces a novel and practical pathway for improving solar desalination technologies, particularly for rural and off-grid water-scarce regions.

n -甲基-2-吡啶酮涂层氯化聚氯乙烯半圆柱形太阳能蒸馏器的10E分析：改进半圆柱形太阳能蒸馏器与常规半圆柱形太阳能蒸馏器的比较与评价

在本研究中，提出了一种结合氯化聚氯乙烯（CPVC）和n -甲基-2- pyroli酮（NMP）涂层的半圆柱形太阳能蒸馏器（HCSS）的新型改性方法，并使用综合10E分析框架对其性能进行了评价。对常规HCSS （CSS）和改良HCSS （MHCSS）进行了实验比较。结果表明，MHCSS的平均淡水产量为0.533 L/m2，比CSS （0.35 L/m2）高出约52%。同样，MHCSS的最高能源效率为36.83%，火用效率为27.43%，而CSS的最高能源效率分别为22.7%和18.24%。从经济角度来看，改进后的系统的单位水成本（UAC）为31.88，证明了其成本效益。此外，MHCSS实现了50吨的二氧化碳净减排，证实了其环境的可持续性。在15年、20年和30年寿命情景下，环境经济参数和能源环境参数分别为155.1、190.4和296.4,10.69、14.76和22.89。拟议的改造不仅提高了生产率和效率，而且提高了环境绩效和长期经济可行性。总体而言，CPVC/NMP涂层的集成为改进太阳能海水淡化技术，特别是农村和离网缺水地区，引入了一种新颖而实用的途径。
