The origin and continuation of mankind is based on water. Water is one of the most
abundant resources on earth, covering three-fourths of the planet's surface. However, about …

The need for fresh drinking water is increasing rapidly, and drinking water availability
reduces day by day. Solar desalination is a viable option to change saltwater to fresh …

Solar Energy Engineering: Processes and Systems, Third Edition, includes updated
chapters and extended resources to assist in the research and teaching of solar energy …

The worldwide request for portable water is continuously growing because of industrial,
population and agricultural growth, the result is water leaks that have already reached …

Reasonable amounts of fresh water can be produced via inexpensive and sturdy solar stills
in places that are exposed to solar radiation and have a brackish water. This work intends to …

This paper attempts to categorize solar stills into six sorts based on the design guidelines
used in each device. The properties of these design guidelines are detailed and evaluated …

This paper presents a new approach to enhance the productivity of the solar still by
introducing glass as the basin material. Single and double basin double slope solar stills of …

The performance of a single slope solar still using different operational parameters was
studied experimentally. The still productivity increased up to 51% when combined …

Throughout the world, there are regions of vast extent that have many favorable features, but
whose development is principally limited by the lack of fresh water. In arid areas where large …

This study aimed to improve the productivity of conventional single slope solar still by
integrating the evacuated tube on the focusing axis of a parabolic trough collector (PTC) and …
