Corrugated solar still with wick and reflectors (Dept.M)

Performance of Rotating Solar Still with Rotating External Reflectors (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this research, a rotating solar still that uses external bottom reflectors was experimentally investigated. The solar still and reflectors have the capability to shift their angle with respect to the south and the reflectors have the capability to shift their angle with respect to the horizon. The experiment has been performed in both fixed and rotating states. For the fixed state the solar ...

Reflectors for Solar Power

Manfred E. Clynes has since 1956 been chief research scientist at Rockland State, in charge of the Dynamic Simulation Lab. A graduate of the Univ. of Melbourne, Australia, and holder of an M.S. from Juilliard School, he has for the past 10 years been engaged in the design and development of physiological instrumentation and apparatus, ultrasonic transducers, and electronic data-processing systems.

Impact of Reflectors on Solar Energy Systems

The paper aims to show that implementing different types of reflectors in solar energy systems, will dramatically improve energy production by means of concentrating and intensifying more sunlight onto a solar cell. The Solar Intensifier unit is designed to increase efficiency and performance of a set of solar panels. The unit was fabricated and tested. The experimental results show good improv...

Experimental Study on a Compound Parabolic Concentrator Tubular Solar Still Tied with Pyramid 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 ...
