Abstract
The application of the integrated solar‐energy-based systems for water desalination and power production to some Iranian coastal regions has been investigated. For this purpose, the Integrated Multi Effect Desalination (MED) and Solar Rankine Cycle (SRC) are used. This work investigates the effects of the main thermodynamic parameters on the systems located at the southern Iranian cities of Chabahar, Qeshm, Kish and Asaluyeh. For each selected sites, the net power output of the system is 50 MWe. The results show that total exergy destruction is the highest for steam generator and cavity receiver which is in the range of 61% to 64% in several cases. Also, the Chabahar has the less total exergy destruction and the freshwater production is about 270.8 kg/s as most production. In addition, at other sites, the integrated cycle can produce about 266.2 kg/s of freshwater. Furthermore, the most total exergy destruction is related to Asaluyeh.
期刊介绍:
The purpose and scope of the International Journal of Thermodynamics is · to provide a forum for the publication of original theoretical and applied work in the field of thermodynamics as it relates to systems, states, processes, and both non-equilibrium and equilibrium phenomena at all temporal and spatial scales. · to provide a multidisciplinary and international platform for the dissemination to academia and industry of both scientific and engineering contributions, which touch upon a broad class of disciplines that are foundationally linked to thermodynamics and the methods and analyses derived there from. · to assess how both the first and particularly the second laws of thermodynamics touch upon these disciplines. · to highlight innovative & pioneer research in the field of thermodynamics in the following subjects (but not limited to the following, novel research in new areas are strongly suggested): o Entropy in thermodynamics and information theory. o Thermodynamics in process intensification. o Biothermodynamics (topics such as self-organization far from equilibrium etc.) o Thermodynamics of nonadditive systems. o Nonequilibrium thermal complex systems. o Sustainable design and thermodynamics. o Engineering thermodynamics. o Energy.
