Assessment and optimization of the synergistic impact of magnets, fins, and natural fibers on solar desalination system
Original language description
This study aims to optimize the synergistic influence of various parameters to boost distillate in the solar desalination process. Water depth directly influences heat transfer and evaporation rates, while magnets have been shown to promote water molecule alignment, potentially enhancing evaporation. Fins are known to increase surface area, improving heat absorption and condensation. Natural fiber-cooled glass helps to regulate temperature by enhancing heat dissipation, which can optimize the condensation process. Experiments over three days involved magnets (96, 72, 48), fins (without, parabolic, and truncated), and natural fibers (jute, sugar cane, and palm) at three water depths (1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm). To verify all possible combinations, a full factorial design would require 81 tests for a 4-parameter, 3-level setup. However, the L9 orthogonal array technique reduced this to just nine tests. The highest distillate yield recorded across all nine experiments was 2480 ml/m<sup>2</sup>. The Taguchi optimization technique evaluates multiple parameters simultaneously to optimize solar desalination efficiency, identifying optimal settings through signal-to-noise ratios and response means. Parameters are ranked based on their influence, and the optimal levels for each parameter are identified. An additional experiment with optimal parameters improved distillate collection, yielding 2880 ml/m<sup>2</sup>, a 16.13% increase over the maximum distillate and 140% higher than the minimum distillate in the three-day experiments. The analysis revealed that water depth and fins significantly enhance the distillate. Taguchi’s method identified the ideal combination of elements with fewer experiments, saving time and resources. It increased distillate productivity by studying noise and using resilient design concepts.
