The aim of the present study is to compare the performance of the Inclined Solar Panel Basin (ISPB) still integrated with (active mode) and without (passive mode) Flat Plat Collector (FPC). The maximum yield of 4.3 and 7.9 kg/day is produced from the passive and active mode respectively. The daily thermal and exergy effectiveness of the passive mode is 39.82% and 2.9% and, the active mode is 46.87% and 6.6%, respectively. For the active mode the daily yield, thermal and exergy efficiencies are increased and the panel effectiveness is decreased. An active mode increases the daily fresh water production rate, thermal and exergy effectiveness up to 44.63, 24.91 and 55.68 % respectively than the passive mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
