In this paper, the thermodynamic performance of a boroxide-added glass evacuated tube heat pipe (ETHP) is studied, including energy, exergy, environmental, economic analysis, and sustainability index. It has been found that 50,87% of the energy loss of water and 50,86% of the exergy loss of water are caused by radiation. There are 4 collectors each collector 57 pipes as a total of 108 pieces pipes, a hot water tank, a heat exchanger, and a pump in the system. The water is used as a working fluid due to economic and common use in the system. In the result of this experimental study, we calculated energy and exergy efficiencies of the EHTP system as % 22,21 and % 13,68, respectively. In addition, the environmental, exergoenviromental, enviroeconomic, and exergoenviroeconomic values of the EHTP system are found 458,5 kgCO2/day, 456,5 kgCO2/day, 0,003708 $/day and 0.003692 $/day, respectively. Also, the sustainability index of the system is found as 1,159.

“…It was reported from the investigation that the productivity of solar still with solid fins was increased by 25% when compared with the desalination system with evacuated tubes. Yousef et al 40 examined the solar still with steel mesh fibers and hollow cylindrical fins for better efficiency. It was observed that the yield of the still with steel fibers and still with fins was augmented by 16% and 25%, respectively, compared with the CSS.…”

The paucity of drinking water is an alarming glitch across the globe. The conversion of available seawater into drinking water by utilizing renewable energy is the best way to surmount this challenge. Desalination through solar still is one of the notable, monetary, and viable processes among various desalination approaches. The current research aims to augment the potable water yield of single‐slope solar still by using a hollow‐finned absorber basin inserted into paraffin wax—phase change material (PCM). The effect of hollow‐finned absorber basin on the yield of solar still is investigated separately, with and without PCM, and compared with the results of conventional solar still (CSS). In the first set of experiments, the CSS and solar still with a hollow‐finned absorber basin without PCM (SSHF) are investigated. In the second set of experiments, the CSS and solar still with a hollow‐finned absorber basin inserted into PCM (SSHFP) are investigated. The experimental results reported that the CSS is having almost the same yield on the 2 days of testing. The yield of SSHF and SSHFP is increased by 15.7% and 52.4%, respectively, when compared with CSS. The results of the economic analysis proved that the payback period and cost per liter of freshwater produced from SSHFP are comparatively better than SSHF and CSS.

The aim of this research is to carry out the heat transfer analysis of PVT hybrid active solar still (HASS) at different water depth to obtain maximum output. Experimentation is performed for validation of thermal modeling with and without flowing water, having water depth of 0.15m in the solar still basin. During experimentation, water flows above the glass cover. Theoretically calculated values of basin water, basin liner, glass temperature and yield obtained using thermal modeling are very near to the experimental values having correlation coefficients 0.988, 0.981, 0.999 and 0.985 respectively. It is also found that thermal efficiency and daily exergy output increases by 4% and 8.2% respectively for this hybrid system whose glass cover is getting cooled by water flowing over it. Theoretical calculation for distillate output of the system was also calculated out for various climatic conditions of India using developed thermal modeling and it is found that proposed system gives higher annual yield of 2756.67 kg/m 2 for the climate of Mumbai. The experimental uncertainty of the HASS is obtained as 14.82%.
