9780128096567 (ISBN)
The various units used in desalination are outlined, along with diagrams of all detailed working principles of desalination methods and systems. The authors consider the economic aspects of these processes, demonstrating successful implementation of desalination units suitable for areas where supplies of fresh water in natural ways is limited or non-existent.
Belessiotis obtained his PhD from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and is currently the Research Director of the Solar and Other Energy Systems laboratory of NCSR “DEMOKRITOS. His main research areas are Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Conservation, and his interests include the areas of Thermal Engineering, Physical processes and Metrology. He was project coordinator in a large number of competitive research projects funded from external sources and his scientific work is widely published. His scientific work is published in five books, six original contributions in specialized international encyclopedias (ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS and ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ENERGY) and more than 250 papers are published in international journals, international and national conferences (with review), as well as many specialized studies. He has approximately 2000 citations on this work. His is permanent member of scientific organisations: ISES, EDS, IDA, ASHRAE, ΙΗΤ, HellasLab (national member of EUROLAB). Prof. Soteris Kalogirou is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at the Cyprus University of Technology. In addition to his Ph.D., he holds a D.Sc. and is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to renewable energy. He is a Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences, a Founding Member of the Cyprus Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts, a Member of Academia Europaea, and a Fellow of the International Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance. For over 35 years, he has conducted research in solar energy, with expertise encompassing solar collectors, solar water heating, solar steam generation, desalination, photovoltaics, geothermal energy, and absorption cooling. He has published extensively, authoring numerous journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers. His books Solar Energy Engineering: Processes and Systems and Thermal Solar Desalination: Methods and Systems (Academic Press, Elsevier) are widely recognized references in the field. He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews. Emmy Delyannis received her PhD from the Athens University of Technology (AUth) and carried out postgraduate studies at the universities of Lawrence, Kansas, USA, and Karlsruhe, Germany. She was Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy at AUth where she taught the subjects of Heating and Chemical Technology. For about 20 years she was the General Secretary of the European Working Group on "Fresh Water from the Sea and she organized six symposiums for the European Federation of Chemical Engineers. For her contributions in desalination she was honored with the Public Service Award of the Department of the Interior of USA and with the Certificate of Merit of the International & Environmental Association, USA.
