Abstract

In this paper thermodynamic modeling is used to assess the performance characteristics of a solar desalination system using concentrated parabolic solar trough. In this desalination system a single-effect flash evaporator is used to evaporate the fluid with a reduced pressure state. Instead of reducing pressure in the evaporation chamber the fluid’s evaporating temperature will be less.so that we can get more vapor withless temperature. Due to this kind of evaporators the instantaneous efficiency of the whole system is increased. Although very few solar power plants have been set up in the last fifteen years, significant R&D advances have taken place in cylindrical parabolic collector technology.
