Abstract: Experimental and theoretical simulations of a novel sustainable desalination process have been carried out. The simulated process consists of pumping seawater through a solar heater before flashing it under vacuum in an ...

Abstract: Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) can be used both as a heat transfer and working fluid in solar power tower plants. The main concern in the design of a direct sCO2 receiver is the high operating pressures, i.e., close ...
