Experimental investigation of modified solar still integrated with solar collector

Experimental Investigation of Thermal Performance in an Advanced Solar Collector with Spiral Tube

This paper reports the thermal performance of a new cylindrical solar collector based on an experimental investigation with this difference that instead of the collector tube with absorbent coating, coil into a spiral copper tube is placed in the center of the collector. The spiral shape of the tube, heat transfer without disruption or increase the heat transfer area, is increasing. In this cas...

Enhancement of Modified Solar Still Integrated with External Condenser Using Nanofluids: an Experimental Approach

The distilled water productivity of the single basin solar still is very limited. In this context, the design modification of a single basin solar still has been investigated to improve the solar still performance through increasing the productivity of distilled water. The experimental attempts are made to enhance the solar still productivity by using nanofluids and also by integrating the stil...

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

Experimental Investigation of the Efficiency of a Semi-Spherical Solar piping Collector

Solar water heaters are good tools for saving fuel. The main component of these water heaters is collectors, which are responsible for absorbing solar energy and transferring it to the working fluid with the least heat dissipation. The present study is an experimental study of the performance of the solar semispherical collector with 1 m2 of absorber area at different volumetric flow...

An experimental investigation on the performance of a symmetric conical solar collector using SiO2/water nanofluid

One of the effective methods to improve the thermal efficiency of solar collectors is using nanofluids as the coolant. The present study experimentally investigated the effect of SiO2/water nanofluid with 1% mass fraction on the performance of a symmetric collector, i.e. conical solar collector. The conical solar collector with 1 m2 area and normal to the earth was tested in Ahvaz, a city in th...
