Constructal design of humidification–dehumidification desalination unit architecture

In the present work, the design and analysis of a humidification–dehumidification (HD) unit is conducted by applying the concept of constructal theory proposed by Bejan. This study is an innovative design method which includes new useful data on the evaluation of geometric aspect ratio of a humidification–dehumidification desalination process. According to the constructal theory, the acquisition of geometry is the mechanism by which the global...
