“…Results of the study showed that the productivity of the new proposed still were 25-35% greater than the productivity of the conventional basin type solar still. On the other hand, Elkader represented the experimental results carried out with a solar still with inclined evaporating yute to study the effects of air gap, base slope angle and glass cover slope angle on the performance of the still [2]. In order to investigate the parameters involved in the still, three models have been designed, manufactured and tested against some experimental measurements on a still having 1 m × 1 m basin area.…”

The world demand for potable water is increasing steadily with growing population. Desalination using solar energy is suitable for potable water production from brackish and seawater. In this paper, we present a theoretical and experimental study of solar distillation in a single basin constructed at İzmir Institute of Technology Urla Campus. The still has a base area of 2100 mm × 700 mm with a glass cover inclined at 38°. In order to obtain extra solar energy, an aluminium reflector (2100 mm × 500 mm) is also assembled to the still. We model the still and conduct its energy balance equations under minor assumptions. We take into account the temperatures of glass cover, seawater interface, moist air and bottom in theoretical calculations and measurements. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental results highlights the benefits of the proposed model of the still and the efficacy of its energy balance equations.

“…By solving Eqs. (4) and (8) we get E G and consequently H G with only one azimuth angles (c = 0°, ±45°, ±90°, ±135°and 180°), the results are represented in Fig. 3 and the optimum inclination angles (b) are extracted and listed in Table 2 for different latitudes (/) taking into account that at |c| > 90°the optimum inclination angle (b) will be the same as |c| = 90°.…”

“…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.

“…Several review papers have been reported in the literature focusing on experimental and numerical investigations with solar stills (Ahmed & Alfaylakawi, 2012;Ahsan et al, 2012;Al-Hayeka & Badran, 2004;Al-Hinai et al, 2002;Al-Karaghouli et al, 2009;Arunkumar et al, 2012;El-Bahi & Inan, 1999;El-Ghonemy, 2012;Elkader, 1998;Eze & Ojike, 2012;Karagiannis & Soldatos, 2008;Panchal & Shah, 2011;Radhwan, 2005;Rajan et al, 2014;Rajaseenivasan et al, 2013;Rajaseenivasan et al, 2014;Sivakumar et al, 2013;Varun, 2010;Velmurugan et al, 2008;Xiao et al, 2013).

Research on the design and operation of solar stills is relatively advanced, but many works have focused only on the description of the individual behavior and operation of experimental apparatus that can be operated under specific experimental or natural conditions. In any case, optimization of the systems requires the correlation of several parameters by means of mathematical modeling, which can be relatively complex. In this work, appropriate global normalization of governing mathematical equations employing dimensionless numbers has been successfully applied for the versatile operation of solar stills. In this novel approach, optimized conditions to design efficient solar stills are presented and discussed. The results also indicated that the generalized dimensionless model could be able of predicting the still performance. The reasons and processes behind the changing trends of the results depend on the simple analysis of the corresponding nondimensional number.
