Abstract: Based on energy balances for different components of a double-effect distillation unit under an active mode of operation (i.e., feeding of thermal energy into the basin from an external source), an analytical expression has been derived for the daily yield as a function of the system and climatic parameters. Parametric studies have been carried out to predict the performance of the system for Delhi. It is observed that there may be an increase of about 30% in daily efficiency by using double-effect distillation if the flow rate is small.
