“…For solar stills with the glass cover angles 20 o , 31 o , 45 o and 50 o under August weather conditions, the yield amount of fresh water increases as the cover inclination angle decreases. [17] If the inclination angle used was lower than a certain degree, it could also be possible that the still would produce fewer distillate because the distillate would fall to the still before it reaches the effluent channel.…”

The worldwide demand of potable water is continuously increasing because of population and industrial growth, the result is the shortage of water in many places of the world. To overcome these problems there is a demand for some supportable sources for the purification of water, one of them is solar still. Solar still is a device used to convert brackish or saline water in to drinkable water. In this article a review of different parameters affecting the performance of solar still (like climatic conditions, design, absorber materials, Internal and external reflectors, energy storing materials) has been studied. Use of phase change materials in basin caused significant enhancement in productivity of solar still whereas use of external condenser coupled with single basin solar still increased the productivity. Considering some design parameter while design and development of solar still affects very much distillate of solar still. Key Words: Solar Still, Desalination, Purification of brackish water, distiller.

“…The difference in the produced distillate for every inclination angle was affected by energy loss The higher inclination angle will reflect more heat energy to the environment so that the energy that enters the still would be lower than the 25 o inclination angle [9]. If the inclination angle used was lower than a certain degree, it could also be possible that the still would produce fewer distillate because the distillate would fall to the still before it reaches the effluent channel [12].…”

Solar desalination is one of many methods to separate excess salt from seawater. In this work, solar energy is applied because of its economical and environmental value. Additionally, solar energy is practical to use in the coastal region. To increase the distillate produced by the solar still, four variations of cover thickness and three variations of inclination angle are applied to the still. The cover thickness and inclination angle used in this work are 3 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and 25°, 30°, 45°. The type of still that is used in this work is a rectangular-shaped single-stage solar still with an area of 0.8 m2. The desalination processes in this work were done from 09.00 until 16.00 and the data was collected every hour in the processes. The result of this work shows that the distillate efficiency produced by the solar still is 1.03% - 6.91%. The highest solar intensity is 1231.97 W/m2 and the lowest solar intensity is 101.03 W/m2. The most effective efficiency was obtained with the variation of 3 mm cover thickness and 25° inclination angle, while the lowest efficiency was obtained with the variation of 10 mm cover thickness and 30° inclination angle.

“…Besides the weather conditions, several design factors could affect the productivity of the solar still, such as the material, inclination, and thickness of the top cover [2]. According to [3] and [4], the solar stills with the inclination of cover at 20 ° has the highest productivity, yet [5] conducted an indoor simulation and found that the 30 ° slope has the highest yield. Furthermore, regarding the cover material, [6] reported that using glass as the cover increases efficiency compared to acrylic.…”

A solar still’s performance using 3 different conductive particles embedded in the phase change material (PCM) has been studied. The conductive particles involved are aluminium scrap (Al), aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nano powder and copper (Cu) nano powder, whereas the PCM is paraffin wax. Four similar solar still models were built with different PCMs, differentiated as Model A, B, C, and D, filled with Al scrap-PCM, Al2O3 nano-PCM, Cu nano-PCM, and Al2O3 + Cu-nano PCM combinations, respectively. The productivity of the solar stills for Models A, B, C, and D are 1.93, 2.15, 1.93, and 2.20 kg/kJ.m2 respectively. It was concluded that Al2O3 + Cu-nano PCM is the most efficient PCM-conductive particle combination and Cu nano powder can be replaced by aluminium scrap as an economical alternative.
