Active solar distillation—A detailed review

The Effect of Collector in Solar Still for Water Productivity Using Runge-Kutta Method

“…h c,g,w = 0.884 (T w − T gi ) + (P w − P gi )(T w − T gi ) 2689 × 10 3 − P w P w and P gi obtained by Sampathkumar [9]:…”

To Enhance the Performance of Solar Still With Reflectors.

“…The production volume for a simple type solar still is only between 2-5 /m 2 /day. This makes the solar stills uneconomic compared to the other conventional distillation systems [1].Many researchers have reviewed, comprehensively, the latest work on solar stills such as classification [2],design [3], improvement techniques [4], passive [5], active [6], inclined [7], stepped [8], wick type [9], and condensers with solar stills [10]. There is no specific manageable survey on solar stills with reflectors.…”

Some Aspects of the Three-Dimensional Double-Diffusive Natural Convection in a Parallelepipedic Tilted Solar Distiller

“…In addition, the flow was observed to undergo a periodic behavior for the particular parameters Ra= 10 4 and an inclination angle =75 o according to the aiding flow case. On another hand, one of the main industrial applications of double diffusive natural convection is solar distillation in which natural convection occurs within the solar distiller, owing to the collective thermal and mass diffusion buoyancy effects as well as the temperature difference between a cover and an absorber [5][6][7]. In fact, study of solar distillers is one of the most significant works to progress their performance with a competitive price Madhlopa et al [8].…”
