“…active or passive). In some cases researchers uses specific geometry for solar still such as double-slope [ 28 , 29 ], tubular [ 30 , 31 ], pyramid [ 32 , 33 ], hemispherical [ 34 , 35 ], spherical [ 36 , 37 ], stepped [ 38 , 39 ], and asymmetrical [ 40 , 41 ] to make an improvement on system. The most prominent passive techniques can be mentioned such as using energy absorbing/storing materials (sands, cement, and marble pieces) [ [42] , [43] , [44] ], porous media [ 45 , 46 ], utilizing phase change materials (PCMs) [ [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] ], using wicks [ [51] , [52] , [53] ], fins [ 54 , 55 ], internal/external reflectors [ [56] , [57] , [58] ], film cooling [ [59] , [60] , [61] ], increase the rate of heat and mass transfer by utilizing different nanoparticles in absorber/fluid/cover of solar stills [ [62] , [63] , [64] , [65] , [66] , [67] , [68] , [69] , [70] ].…”

“…The variations of water temperature every hour during all the testings are plotted in Figure 4. It is observed that water temperature increases linearly with the increase in the solar intensity; it reaches its maximum value when the solar intensity is maximum, and it is found to be decreased during the sunset hours 29‐43 . The maximum hourly water temperature for the CSS, the CSSGC, the CSSBH, and the CSSGCBH is found as 61°C, 59°C, 67°C, and 65°C, respectively.…”

In this paper, an experimental study of the conventional solar still (CSS), the conventional solar still with glass cooling (CSSGC), the conventional solar still with basin heating (CSSBH), and the conventional solar still with glass cooling and basin heating (CSSGCBH) was carried out on the basis of the distilled water production, the energy efficiency (EnE), the exergy efficiency (ExE), and economic analysis. The CSSGC and CSSBH contain Peltier modules for cooling the glass and heating the basin. The evaporative heat transfer coefficient for all the experimental stills was calculated. The values of daily distilled water production from the CSSGCBH, CSSBH, CSSGC, and CSS were 4.56, 3.79, 2.49, and 1.89 kg/m 2 , respectively. The daily distilled yield of the CSSBH and CSSGCBH were increased by 58.55% and 50.13%, respectively, as compared with the CSS. Moreover, the daily EnE and ExE of the CSSGCBH were 27.03% and 3.5%, respectively, whereas the EnE and ExE of the CSS were 10.88% and 1.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the cost of distilled water Abbreviations: CSS, conventional solar still; CSSBH, conventional solar still with basin heating; CSSGC, conventional solar still with glass cooling; CSSGCBH, conventional solar still with glass cooling and basin heating; EHTC, evaporative heat transfer coefficient; EnE, energy efficiency; ExE, exergy efficiency; T w − T g , temperature difference between the water and glass cover.

“…The pyramid structure of Pakistani firms is more complicated than Chinese and Malaysian firms, both vertically and horizontally (Muthu Manokar et al, 2020) Varying the water depth At 1 cm water depth, the pyramid solar still with and without insulation produced 19.46% and 8.26% higher yield than the single basin type solar. The daily efficiency of solar is even improved to about 28.5% with insulation, whereas the daily efficiency for solar still without insulation is 26.17%.…”

The prevailing literature and empirical studies on organizational performance management stress the increasing importance of non-financial performance measures and propose companies implement an integrated performance measurement system. The purpose of our research is to investigate the characteristics of performance measurement and management in various industries. This paper discusses the published literature related to the Performance Pyramids System (PPS), focusing on the latest progress in the 18 years, starting from 2002 until 2020. This paper involves the study review of 50 articles related to PPS implementation of available database search, including Google Scholar, Elsevier, Science Direct, and other publishers in the world. This literature review contains results from a variety of different perspectives. The perspective includes the industry's focus, the focus of the number of distribution by country, the year of publication, and the number of publishers. This is useful for all types of manufacturing industries to find solutions to problems. The paper also provides advantages for researchers next to add to the literature. The aims of this study are: (i) to identify the most discussed approaches in the literature to evaluate the organizational performance, and (ii) to carry out a diagnosis of how small and medium enterprises with economic activity in several countries measure and operationalize the evaluation of their performance. To meet the study's objectives, we analyzed published studies in scientific journals and conducted twelve interviews in SMEs. The results indicate that, in addition to the majority of the studied organizations not having a formal process of their strategy, they also do not measure their products in an integrated system that would allow them to evaluate according to their strategic goals.
