Abstract

In recent times, solar energy has emerged as one of the most promising energy sources. Numerous scholars and researchers are exploring various applications of solar energy. This presented work focused on solar water desalination system to evaluate its thermal performance in natural convection mode. Three-dimensional Computational fluid dynamics CFD model is built in Comsol Multiphysics 6.1. Numerical model simulations have been carried out by using Heat transfer in Solid &Fluid and Laminar flow interfaces. The surface temperature varies between 19.5℃ and 102℃ while the velocity magnitude was between 0.05 m/s and 0.5 m/s. Variations of the surface temperature, velocity magnitude, pressure, convective and conductive heat flux magnitudes in Solar water desalination system are presented in the discussion section of the article.
