Multistage solar still desalination system

Mkhize, Mfanafuthi Mthandeni January 2018 (has links)
Thesis (Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018. / The present study was centred on the design of a thermal multistage solar still desalination system. The design is a multistage with new configurations such as direct vapour input into each stage using vapour make-up tubes and the integration of a multistage with a basin type solar still. The incorporation of float a valve in the secondary seawater tank to regulate the seawater in the assembly eliminated the need of pumps to the system. The circulation of seawater between the evaporator and the evacuated tube solar collector (ETC) was through the pressure difference and the flow back was controlled through the incorporation of oneway flow valve. The ETC was used as a heat source to supply the thermal energy into the multistage system. The system had no electrical connections and therefore, no forced circulation as no pumps or any electrical components were used. The system consisted of six stages in total, the evaporator supplied the vapour to five of the six stages of the system. The system was tested on the roof of Mechanical Engineering Department and this location was chosen because of less sun’s intensity obstructions. The system was tested for nine (9) days but the distillate collection was not performed for the whole each day. This was due to the controlled access to the roof and the minor repairs that had to occur before the tests were conducted. The duration on which the tests were conducted varied in each day. The data was supposed to be logged from 08h00 am to 18h00 pm but this was not so due to the controlled access to where the tests were conducted. This data logging period was chosen based on the assumptions that the sun’s intensity would be at maximum within this period. The longest period of test was approximately 7 hours and the system managed to produce about 1500 ml and the maximum temperature for the day was 28oC. The system produced a minimum of 225 ml in the space of 3 hours and the temperature of the day was 26oC. The total amount of distillate produced was about 7600 ml and this amount was produced within the period of 49 hours. The 49 hours is equivalent to two days and 1 hour. It is anticipated that the system would have produced more should there be no repairs involved during the tests. The system produced a maximum of 48 ml at night and a minimum of 8ml in some nights. The night tests were not controlled and monitored due to limited access. It was noticed that the system was empty in each morning of the first few days of the tests. This emptiness contributed to the leakage occurred to the evaporator. The leakage of the evaporator was caused by unmonitored heat supplied by the ETC. The evaporator was constructed using unsuitable material and this was another factor which contributed towards the failure of the evaporator.

System for Managing Saline and Run-off Water for Fruit and Crop Production in Arid Regions of Mexico

Gavande, Sampat A., Cluff, Brent C., Nahlawi, Nazir January 1976 (has links)
FAO/UNDP MEX 74/003 / Technical Report / Prepared for the International Conference on Managing Saline Water for Irrigation, Lubbock, Texas, U.S.A. August 16-20, 1976. / FAO of United Nations Project, UAAAN/FC / Buenavista, Saltillo, Coahuila, 1976. / Note: Item states For Internal Use only. Online copy not available. / INTRODUCTION: More than 52% cultivable area of Mexico is classified as arid and semi-arid. Nearly half of this area, particularly in the Northern States is extremely arid and presents with some salinity, alkalinity and water logging problems. Ground water, when available for irrigation, is often saline or moderately saline-sodic. The soils of this region are calcareous and contain some salts and sodium. Soils also contain sub-surface horizon rich in carbonate and compact in nature, which may be 30-90 cms below the ground surface. Before planning a major irrigation system for crop production, provision of drainage and leaching of salts is often recommended for this region. The good quality water from underground source may rarely be available for leaching salts and when available pumping costs are prohibitively expensive. It has also been pointed out in the past that such lands could be used to harvest water. In fact, rudimentary water harvesting systems have been established by local people in some parts of this area. Thus, with the need for integral land use and water reclamation in mind, a multipurpose water use and water harvesting system was developed. The requirements of this system, among others, are: (1) To collect enough water for multiple use inside or outside the system, (2) To increase the desired production of the marginal saline land within the system, and, (3) To provide an economically feasible long term farming system for the low-income community. Such system is under development at the Ejido San Francisco del Barrial, near Parras in the State of Coahuila.
