Productivity enhancement of stepped solar still: Performance analysis

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 ...

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

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 ...

A comprehensive decade review and analysis on designs and performance parameters of passive solar still

The simplest and easily accessible type of solar distillation is passive solar still which utilizes freely and abundantly available sun energy for removal of salinity/impurity from saline/brackish water. The main drawback of passive solar still is its lower efficiency and distillation output. Different designs of passive solar stills are fabricated and tested by various researchers to meet wate...
