Abstract

Future global development will be hampered by two main problems: a shortage of clean water and functional energy. These problems also have a big effect on how any country's economy and society are changing generally. Conventional desalination techniques are typically associated with large-scale, technologically complex systems. With the use of different solar collector, we can save energy and decreases dependency on energy produced by fossil fuel. Since these solar heaters can make up over 40% of the total cost of a humidification-dehumidification (HDH) system, developing a cost-effective and efficient solar collector is essential to the system's functioning.
