Energy Savings in Desalination Technologies: Reducing Entropy Generation by Transport Processes

© 2019 by ASME. Desalination systems can be conceptualized as power cycles in which the useful work output is the work of separation of fresh water from saline water. In this framing, thermodynamic analysis provides powerful tools for raising energy efficiency. This paper discusses the use of entrop...
