“…One of the key parameters is the cover tilt angle. Experimental and theoretical studies were performed for single slope solar still [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], these studies were investigated for different climate conditions, also at different periods of the year as well as all a year investigation. The performance of double slope solar still was performed experimentally and theoretically by many researches [12][13][14][15][16][17][18], their studies were concerned with the effect of inclination angle of the glass cover on its performance for different locations and orientation of the solar still.…”

This investigation represents the optimum inclination angles of the glass cover of the double slope solar still, and orientation for maximum collected solar energy that could be captured by the solar still glass cover. The results will be displayed for different latitudes (/ = 24°, / = 27.2°, / = 30°and / = 31.2°) to cover Egypt geographically. The double slope solar still has two opposite inclined surface; so it has two surfaces azimuth angles (c 1 and c 2 ) according to |c 1 | + |c 2 | = 180°, with opposite signs, these values are (c 1 = 0°and c 2 = 180°), (c 1 = 90°a nd c 2 = À90°), (c 1 = 45°and c 2 = À135°) which is equivalent to (c 1 = À45°and c 2 = 135°); consequently, the total energy is the summation of the collected energy by the two surfaces represents the double slope solar still surface area. The inclination angle (b) is changed from 10°to 60°on both sides of the glass cover to get independently the optimum inclination angles for each side that not necessary to be the same. ª 2015 Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University.
