Investigation on the solid-oxide fuel cell/desalination

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-Gas Turbine (SOFC-GT) system and Multi-Stage Flash distillation (MSF) play roles in supplying electricity and water. Thus, it could be reasonable to consider a hybrid system which utilizes wasted gas from SOFC-GT to desalinate seawater. Till now, there are few researches studyi...
