研究目的
Investigating the influence of porosity on the evaporation performance of a bi-layer solar steam generation system to optimize efficiency.
研究成果
The porosity of the bottom layer significantly affects water diffusivity and thermal conductivity, with an optimal porosity of 0.52 achieving a maximum evaporation efficiency of 77.64% under 1 sun illumination. This is determined by balancing increased water diffusivity and increased thermal conductivity. The system shows high efficiency, low cost, and reusability, making it suitable for solar steam generation applications. Future work should focus on reducing conduction and convection heat losses to further improve efficiency.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific materials (sawdust and carbon particles) and porosities (0.2-0.7). Energy losses, particularly conduction to bulk water and convection at the top surface, account for 83% of total losses, indicating areas for optimization. Salt deposition in pores during seawater desalination may reduce efficiency, requiring physical cleaning. The deviation in thermal conductivity measurements is up to 7.7%, and porosity error is less than 0.01.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves preparing a bi-layer system (CSS-film) by daubing carbon particles on a sintered sawdust film (SS-film) with adjustable porosities. The influence of porosity on water diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and evaporation performance is explored through controlled experiments under solar illumination.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Sawdust from pine wood is used to create SS-films with porosities ranging from 0.2 to 0.7 by varying manufacturing pressures. Carbon particles are derived from high-temperature carbonization of discarded wood. Data include SEM images, FTIR and XPS spectra, absorption spectra, thermal conductivity measurements, and evaporation mass changes.

4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Preparation involves cold-pressing sawdust into S-films, sintering to form SS-films, and daubing carbon particles to create CSS-films. Evaporation tests are conducted under 1 sun illumination, with mass changes, temperatures, and energy losses measured. Wettability and thermal conductivity are characterized for different porosities.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Evaporation rate and efficiency are calculated using mass change and energy balance equations. Thermal conductivities are analyzed with mixing rules. Statistical analysis of particle sizes uses ImageJ software. Energy losses are estimated using Fourier's law, Stefan-Boltzmann law, and Newton's law of cooling.
