The aim of writing Introduction to Desalination textbook is to provide the academic sector with an educational, state‐of‐the‐art desalination teaching book.

The textbook is prepared to be a source of knowledge in the field of desalination and to provide solutions to freshwater capacity need in the world, and it aims to enhance both teaching and learning aspects in engineering educational field.

A comprehensive theoretical foundation for several industrial applications in the field of desalination is presented in a friendly and challenging way, covering basic principles of desalination processes: thermal and membrane system using conventional and renewable energy type, in addition to real engineering examples.

The content tends to integrate the basics of engineering science disciplines under the umbrella of desalination systems, namely, thermodynamics (energy and exergy), fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, water chemistry, environmental, and economic, in addition to sustainability aspect.

The textbook includes 10 chapters with materials that are mostly required in university engineering curriculum courses; it aims to develop intuitive understanding of the basics and practices in industrial desalination field. The objectives of teaching desalination course are:

1 Train and teach student how to model a desalination system, and then analyze, design, and select the proper desalination system in the light of 4E's (energy, exergy, environment, and economic aspects).
