Analytical thermal modeling of double slope solar still by using inner glass cover temperature

Computer modeling of passive/active solar stills by using inner glass temperature

Expressions for water and glass temperatures, hourly yield and instantaneous efficiency for both passive and active solar distillation systems have been derived. The analysis is based on the basic energy balance for both the systems. A computer model has been developed to predict the performance of the stills based on both the inner and the outer glass temperatures of the solar stills. In the p...

Experimental Analysis of a Vertical, Double-Effect Diffusion Solar Still

Improvement of Solar Still Productivity by Energy Absorbing Plates

A solar still is a viable option when the demand of potable water does not exceed more than 3 litres. Enhancement in distillate output from the solar still is a main goal of many researchers all over the world. In this research, the effect of copper and aluminium plates on distillate output is investigated experimentally as well as theoretically at different water depths under the same climate ...
