Solar Distiller With Flat Plate Collector and Thermal Storage

Abstract

Two conventional solar distillers and a thermal storage system with flat plate collector are designed and fabricated at Shebin El-kom city, Egypt at Latitude of 30.58 o N and Longitude of 31.01 o E. The thermal storage system is used to collect the solar energy during daytime and store it in a thermally insulated water tank. Two types of experiments are conducted. Firstly, the productivity of conventional solar distiller through a daytime and night without heat recovery is measured. The second type prescribes measuring the productivity using both the direct solar energy during daytime and recovered the energy during night. The heat is recovered with the aid of a pumping system and through a heat exchanger immersed inside the salt water accumelated within the distiller basin. The results of two solar distillers with and without heat recovery are investigated. The daily productivity of solar distiller with heat recovery is almost twice of the conventional one. Present measurements show that the productivity of modified distiller is increased by 75, 94, 121 and 109 percentage for August, September, November and December respectively.

Multivariate-Parameters Effect of Dewatered Aluminium-Based Sludge in Catalytic Oxidation into Wastewater Treatment with A Special Strategy for Solar Energy Application

“…Shebin El-Kom city, Menoufia government is one of the most plentiful solar radiation towns in Egypt. Such a region is well-endowe with solar energy and has significant solar radiation, particularly during the summer months [28]. The intensity of sun radiation reached to (1014 W/m 2 ) in the noon during Augest, the time of the study.…”

“…The city of Shebin El-Kom is located 75 kilometres north of Cairo. The climate in the region is often moderate, sunny, and dry, especially during the summer months [28]. During the experimental research, the temperature rises to more than 40 °C.…”

Identifying optimized conditions for developing dewatered alum sludge-based photocatalyst to immobilize a wide range of dye contamination

“…An aqueous solution of 2 L of dye-containing wastewater was used and the prepared Fenton reagent was added to the system of a real natural sun activation pilot scale solar reactor assembled at city of Shebin El-Kom which is located 75 kms north of Cairo. The coordinates of the place are 30°58′N and 31°01′E, with an elevation of 11 m above sea level (Farahat et al 2016;Tony and Mansour 2020b). The solar reactor system is consists of: (i) tubular silica glass tube that are completely transparent to acquire the sunlight; (ii) a parabolic trough-concentrating collector made of stainless-steel reflecting sheet; (iii) Peristaltic pump (Shenchen, model LABN6) with a maximum flow rate of 2280 mL min −1 that provides circulation; (iv) 1/2-inch rubber tubes are employed to link a feed/discharge beaker to the solar reactor and (v) magnetic stirrer (DLAB model Ms-H280) to guarantee that the solution and the catalyst within the container is completely homogenized.…”

“Sun in a Box” Day-to-Night Solar Energy Storage for Heating and Cooling Applications Utilizing Zeolite Synthesized from Waste Residues Towards Energy Density Enhancement

“…3 is located in Menoufia city in the north of Egypt with a location coordinates are 30°58'N and 31°01' E, respectively above 11 m of sea level. The location has a mild, sunny and dry weather specifically at summer periods [9]. The flat plate collector is used to collect the solar energy and is mounted facing south with a tilt angle of 28°40 according to the geography of the place.…”
