Abstract
Abstract: A scheme is proposed to desalinate sea water using solar energy for the Thar Desert of India. The scheme has been using solar energy for the Thar Desert of India. The scheme has been designed to produce about 5.25 x 10 m 3 /yr (13860 MG/yr) of fresh water with 11.52 km 2 (4.5 miles 2) of collector area. The solar collectors are rectangular concrete tubes, half buried in the ground, through which sea water flows and is heated by solar energy. The heated sea water is then flash evaporated in a multi-stage flash evaporator (MSF) unit to yield fresh water. Pumping of the sea water to the site and through the MSF unit is powered by 415 wind turbines each of 200 kW capacity. Economic analysis of the scheme shows that it compares favorably with the existing fossil fuel fired desalination plants of the equivalent capacity. 1.
