Freshwater scarcity has emerged as a major challenge of our time. Under this context, the importance of an efficient and energy-saving water desalination method is highlighted. In recent years, carbon nanotube (CNT) membrane characterizing with high permeability has attracted much attention in research, and it is regarded as a promising alternative to the conventional reverse osmosis technology. This work aims at numerically investigating the water desalination ability of a novel type of CNT membrane structure, namely the double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) with Moiré pattern. After establishing the physical CNT models and running the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the water desalination system, it is found that both the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and DWCNT can desalinate the seawater successfully while the water permeability of DWCNT is at least 18.9% higher than that of SWCNT within the same time. As far as the Moiŕe pattern adopted in this study is concerned, the water permeability of DWCNT without Moiŕe pattern is 18.6% higher than that with Moiré pattern.

The biggest problem faced by the world these days is pure drinkable water, and in a few years pure drinkable water will not be easily available, as it is becoming brackish and saline due to pollution. By using solar energy, a solar still can produce pure water which can be used for drinking, cooking, and also for industrial purposes. In this research, a solar still based on clean technology using solar energy to drive the system is used. It can be operated easily and with an approximately negligible maintenance cost. A pyramid solar water desalination unit with modification of the solar electric water heater (used to increase water temperature) is developed to increase the water yield per day. A theoretical model of the solar still unit with and without an electric water heater is developed and performance is compared. Based on this theoretical design, fabrication is carried out and experiments are performed to predict the overall output. It is observed that the output distilled water has a TDS (total dissolved salts) value much lower than the TDS of groundwater. Additionally, the average output of a solar water desalination unit with an electric water heater is found to be enhanced compared with the unit without an electric water heater.
