All around planet Earth, access to drinkable fresh water is a problem with increasing relevance, being its scarceness the origin of many diseases, namely in underdeveloped countries and a potential motivation to future conflicts. The present work focuses in the modelling of solar still systems of salt water, aiming at producing fresh water, having considered for that purpose four types of insta...

The experimental investigation has been done in the month of April 2015 for climate condition of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India (latitude 23° 18′ N; longitude 79° 95′ E) during full day, 0600 a.m. to 0600 p.m. The performance of the solar still with modification of water flow over the glass cover (sprinkler attachment) and nanoparticles (cuprous oxide) in basin water has been observed, recorde...

Water distillation techniques are good ways to deal with shortage of freshwater. One these is solar water still which can be used remove harmful substances from contaminated by using free energy make it safe drink before it. The most important obstacle a the modest amount that produced. Therefore,there need improve performance stills so more productivity made. In rural areas, there aren't enoug...

Abstract Present work shows the results of thermal performance a single-slope solar still under different tilt angles glass cover, using numerical simulation through CFD. Simulations were carried out Computational Fluid Dynamics for glass-cover 10°, 20°, 30°, and 40°. For each angle, distributions temperature, density velocity fluid obtained. Besides, convective heat transfer coefficient betwee...

Conventional basin-type solar still (CSS) is the simplest type of water distillation system. In this study, CSS was modeled and simulated. The effect variations in mass inside basin, absorber absorptivity, glass reflectivity heat loss coefficient were investigated. Finally, system simulated using same data radiation intensity, ambient temperature wind speed each variation highest distilled resu...
