Abstract:

The ideology behind using this method is to provide purified water at a lower cost and with less energy consumption along with environmental concerns, compact in design, and portable. Serve the need of single or multiple families. Stainless steel 316 material was selected for the boiling unit regarding the saltwater corrosion resistance. The design done in this paper is by using Solidworks software along with Solidworks flow simulation (for heat transfer analysis). The tube and heat chamber is where we performed our computational fluid dynamics analysis. Since the heat transfer occurs across the tube, the internal surface controls the heat transfer process. CFD heat transfer analysis has provided the output temperature and heat transfer behavior. After giving the boundary condition to the inner and outer fluid, the number of iterations is set to 400, the solution is calculated, and various contours, vectors, and plots are obtained. The average temperature of the steam is 42.48 °C, and the water outlet temperature is 38.22 °C. The condensation formed on conditions such as at 1 absolute bar pressure, latent heat 2237.79 kJ/kg is 10.748 kg/hr. The design process is viable during the sun peak hours.
