Abstract
In this paper, the performance of a novel HDH solar desalination system equipped with a combination of heat pipe (HP), evacuated tube collector (ETC) and air bubble column humidifier is experimentally investigated. This novel HDH system uses advantages of ETC-HP as a highly efficient thermal absorption and conductor device, and at the same time employs the advantages of an air bubble column humidifier, i.e. high interface area and effective mixing in order to heat the water and humidify the air, respectively. The effects of various parameters including incoming air flow rate into the humidifier, initial depth of water in the humidifier, and adding fluids such as oil and water in the space...

Abstract
Theoretical and experimental analysis of performance of a solar desalination pond as a second stage of proposed zero discharge desalination processes is considered in this work. Major purpose of this proposed process is producing salt and potable water. Experiments are conducted for brackish wastewater with different salinity content. The relation between temperature variations of brackish water, glass, and base of solar desalination pond with condensation rate are discussed. Results indicate when brackish water temperature is increasing; the average daily production of solar desalination pond is increased considerably. Results of the mathematical modeling show good agreement with...

Abstract
The aim of this study is to provide a solution for supplying distilled water used in indirect water bath heaters in the pressure reduction stations. A particular type of distilled water production system consists of a typical solar still and a heat pipe heat exchanger was constructed for recovering heat from the exhaust of an indirect gas heater. The system was tested under the climatic conditions of Semnan-Iran. Experimental results showed that in active type, the average daily production rate of distilled water would be 2.06 times higher than passive type. Also, in the proposed system, the average daily energy efficiency and the exergy efficiency would be 65.5% and 41% higher than the...
