Interfacial solar desalination has been considered as a promising strategy to address the challenge of freshwater scarcity because its high solar-to-vapor efficiency. However, evaporation rate would be restrained if salt crystallization occurs on interface. Herein, we propose capacitance model describe transient heat transfer and rejecting processes during interfacial evaporation. This allows us identify water layer thickness new design parameter. With understanding, downward channel ratio...
Solar stills are considered an effective method to solve the scarcity of drinkable water. However, it is still missing a way forecast its production. Herein, proposed that convenient forecasting model which just needs input conventional weather data. The established by using machine learning methods random forest and optimized Bayesian algorithm. required data train obtained from daily measurements lasting 9 months. To validate accuracy model, determination coefficients two types solar...
Solar-thermal evaporation, a traditional steam generation method for solar desalination, has received numerous attentions in recent years due to the significant increase efficiency by adopting interfacial evaporation. While most of previous studies focus on improving evaporation materials innovation and system design, underlying mechanisms its energy are less explored, leading many confusions misunderstandings. Herein, we clarify these with detailed thermal analysis model. Using this model,...
