Low Temperature Distillation for Desalination

ORAL

Abstract

We examine a unique configuration that combines the evaporator and condenser in a low temperature distillation process. The low temperature (pressure) container is designed to use waste heat from a power plant as the hot source and a water reservoir as the cold source. Fresh and saline streams of droplets in close proximity create interesting hydrodynamic challenges for the directional stability of the droplets.
