dc.description.abstractThis paper proposes a new way to remove salt from water at home by using electricity to heat it. The process involves heating a metal rod using copper coils that are energized by magnets. The metal rod is placed in a tank of salt water. This study examines how water is stabilized and how water flows are represented using numbers and then tested in real life. Testing showed that when a strong electric current of 20 amps is applied to the surface of a steel rod, it boils, reaching boiling temperature. In simpler words, using an induction heating system can heat a water heater to 157 degrees C. By changing the number of rods, the temperature is 21 degrees C for one rod and 37 degrees C for three rods connected in series. In an environment where objects were placed next to each other, the highest temperature reached was 28 degrees C. If the temperature of the heating coil goes up from 55 degrees C to 60 degrees C, the amount of freshwater produced and the efficiency of the system increase. The amount of freshwater goes up from 1.589 liters to 2.403 liters and the efficiency goes up from 56.87 percent to 60.49%. This means that the increase in the quality of freshwater is 39.9%, while the improvement in thermal efficiency is 6.36%. These numbers show that the improvement gets less as the heater temperature goes up. In this model, the highest level of effectiveness in using heat and the amount of clean water produced can both reach 70.44% and 5.65 liters, respectively. Data indicates that the system's performance depends on the evaporator's maximum temperature. This innovative method of heating salt water to turn it into fresh water might be a good, low-cost way to obtain clean water.en_US
