“…The efficiency derived using different values of solar intensity and water temperature are also given in table 1. From the results, three-dimensional graphs were generated between the four variables and depicted in figure 8 and 9 [10,11]. The relative standard deviation has been found between the experimental and simulation results in order to signify the closeness of the trend.…”

In this work has been made to predict the effect of several parameters on the productivity to a system by expending fuzzy set technique. A solar cooker has been developed low cost and critically high efficiency produce in Vel Tech Multitech Engineering College at Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. Dissects in thermal performance of cooking system have been produced heat transfer follow in fuzzy logic techniques (Low, Medium, and High). The thermal effect of factor should be developed in fuzzy logic for the system. They should have groups of heat transfer produced in fuzzy logic controller for solar cooker system which had been implemented of system performance discussed. It is to study have induced to give the shortly time for the enhancement of the box solar cooker production.

In the article, entropy generation is calculated locally by the computational fluid dynamic simulation for the design improvement of a single slope solar still. A numerical approach based on SIMPLE algorithm is utilized to simulate the double diffusive natural convection in the solar still and solve the mass, momentum, energy, and concentration equations. The study investigates the effects of aspect ratio and temperatures of glass cover and water on different types of entropy generation containing frictional, diffusive, and thermal entropy generations. Obtained results indicate that an increase in different types of entropy generation is occurred with an increase in the glass and water temperatures. Moreover, the still with higher aspect ratio creates higher values of entropy generation than that of still with smaller aspect ratio. For example, there is 30% increment in diffusive entropy generation when the aspect ratio value is changed from A = 2.58 to A = 5.3 for Tg=30°C and Tw=40°C. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1112–1120, 2018

Renewable energy‐based desalination systems are one of the main sources of human sustenance to address the climate damage of their fossil fuel‐based counterparts. Drinking water is not available in some remote areas and this causes a problem so there is a real need to develop simple and handy methods to solve this problem. Solar distillation is a simple, cost‐effective, and environmentally friendly process. It entails evaporating dirty water with free solar energy to obtain pure water. This study aims to achieve the highest performance of solar stills by using industrial coal debris as low‐cost and locally available energy storage materials. These coals help to increase the rates of absorption of solar radiation and improve the rates of heat transfer to the basin water. In addition, aluminum waste represents thermal storage materials. Two identical solar stills were exposed to the sun for 10 h, resulting in identical meteorological conditions. The first solar still was taken as the reference (RSS), and the second solar still which contains the carbon debris as low‐cost and locally available energy storage materials, it is the modified solar still (MSS). The results showed that carbon debris improved the accumulative productivity from 3.233 to 4.066 kg/m2, with an improvement rate of 25.76%. Also, the average thermal efficiency of RSS and MSS reached 27.98% and 34.79%, respectively. According to the economic analysis, the sum invested in the building of the two solar stills is recovered in 45 days for RSS and 35 days for MSS.
