| Özet |
| Theoretically and experimentally, this study examined how clean water may be generated from ambient air in Kirkuk City, Iraq. As desiccant materials, blue silica gel and a composite substance consisting of silica gel and calcium chloride were utilised, and a single-slope device consisting of two similar portions was used. The process entails humidity adsorption at nighttime and humidity desorption and vapour condensation during the daytime to generate water droplets. The regeneration process's theoretical outcomes were anticipated by employing the 4th-order Rung Kutta approach in MATLAB, and a price analysis was used to find out the price of producing freshwater. The findings demonstrated that the silica gel's theoretical cumulative productivity was significantly higher than its collected one. In contrast, the experimentally measured silica gel temperature was higher than the predicted one. Also, it was found that the adsorption rate, coefficient of mass transfer, as well as productivity of Silica gel, were higher than the composite material, and the yearly cost of generating water utilising silica gel and composite material was 2.54 $/L and 2.49 $/L, respectively. The accumulated water productivity using silica gel and composite material for the average results of November was 112 g/m2 and 73 g/m2, respectively. More significant water production levels may be attained if this procedure is applied in another area with high relative humidity, and the price of generating water will be significantly lower in this scenario. |
