Modelling the Natural Evaporation of the Concentrated Seawater after Desalinized

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of natural evaporation factors (the irradiation intensity, speed of the wind, temperature of the brine, temperature and relative humidity of the air) on the desalinated seawater evaporation rate was measured experimentally. A natural evaporation model was built by correlating the experimental data using the artificial neural network. This model was well correlated with the influence of natural evaporation factors, and it showed a good agreement of the results and evaporation theory.
