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 ...

abstract: there is always a need to increase a distillate output of solar still. if plates will be used inside solar still then distillate output of solar still are expected to increase. hence, an experimental study is conducted to improve distillate output of basin solar stills by increasing the effective surface area with the help of different plates. for the purpose of experiment, three sola...

This paper presents the experimental work conducted on Conventional Basin type Solar Still in order to investigate the effect of some design and operating parameters on the performance of the still. The vapour leakage from the still may significantly vary the performance, lot of literature can be found on this topic. The misalignment or crookedness of distillate channel may be seemingly ignorab...

The difference in temperature between the of basin water and glass cover is most important regulating factor for getting yield from a solar still. higher differential, more distillate still produces. This can be enhanced either by increasing decreasing or combining both strategies together. A strategy lowering to cool it with air flowing water. Cooling not only boosts production but also cleans...

Solar desalination is a process to convert saline water into potable by the application of solar energy. The enhancement distillate output low, so it not considered as method produce water. A heat exchanger an important device used for transfer applications. present review article illustrates with system enhance output. In current review, found that improve productivity system. Finally, future ...

Emissions from two biofuels, a soy-based biodiesel and an animal-based biodiesel, were measured and compared to emissions from a distillate petroleum fuel oil. The three fuels were burned in a small (3.5x10 Btu/hr) firetube boiler designed for use in institutional, commercial, and light industrial applications. Emissions were measured for carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxides of ni...

OBJECTIVE To study the carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatoprotective activity in cow urine. METHODS Effect of cow urine distillate on liver function was studied in vivo in rats intoxicated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Hepatotoxicity was induced by a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of CCl4 in olive oil (5 mL/kg i.p). Protective effect of cow urine distillate (in three dose levels) and standard drug Sil...

A silicon-based microscale distillation chip was fabricated consisting of a micro-channel 600 μm in width and 40 cm in length. Micropillars were incorporated in the micro-channel to direct liquid flow from the cooled to the heated end by capillarity. A feed of a 19 mol% acetone-water mixture was separated to 95+ mol% acetone in the distillate and 11 mol% in the bottom stream. This distillation ...
