Demand of fresh water is rising continuously because of increase in population. This has created an undue burden on limited reserves of fresh water. Desalination is one of the …
One of the problems that the world is increasingly facing day by day is the problem of lack of potable water. Solar stills are one of the ideal solutions for places far from urbanization and …
In this study, the absorber plate of a new pyramidal basin type solar still is coated with TiO 2 nanoparticles doped in black paint on the basin to analyze the performance under the …
The world suffers from the potable water shortage problem. Solar still is a simple device used to convert the brackish water into a drinkable water. We proposed a new modification …
In this work pyramid-shaped two solar still units were tested experimentally, one of them is a traditional unit and the other is a modified pyramid solar still unit with wick material …
A new working mechanism of the wick in the pyramid solar distiller was proposed. The cords wick pyramid solar still (CWPSS) had a parallel upper basin liner with a number of cracks …
Desalination of salt and contaminated water, which is widely used in remote areas, is difficult due to high construction and maintenance costs. So, solar still units by using a free energy …
The present work introduces formulating a mathematical modeling to predict the thermal performance of pyramid solar distiller (PSD) using the technique of response surface …
In this experimental work, four different solar stills (SSs) have been tested. The SS systems are conventional SS (CSS), Double Slope SS (DSSS), Pyramid SS (PSS) and Tubular SS …
