“…The effect of single and double slope of the still cover on productivity was studied by Fath et al [8]. Al Mahdi [9] conducted an analysis to optimize the number of basins on the basis of daily production and concluded that the double basin still has the highest productivity.…”

“…Fath et al [23] give economical analysis of water desalination unit. The capital recovery factor (CRF), the fixed annual cost (FAC), the sinking fund factor (SFF), the annual salvage value (ASV), average annual productivity (ṁ w ), maintenance cost (AMC), current cost (CC) (0.06 $/kW h) and annual cost (AC) are the main calculation parameters used in the cost analysis of the desalination unit.…”

“…Also glass is opaque for thermal radiation. For higher latitude places, single slope still is preferable and for northern chemosphere the still faces south [1,5,17,19]. The inclination of the cover is optimized to collect the accumulated condensate through drain before it drops down to basin.…”

Glass cover is very important component for the efficient design of the solar still. Sunrays are first incident on glass cover and then transfer to the solar still for the purpose of evaporation of water to get potable water. Selection of the proper glass cover is always based on transmittance and it is depends on thickness of the glass cover. Hence, to study effect of transmittance on glass cover thickness, three different thicknesses of glass cover like 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm were chosen for the study on three same sized solar stills and tested in composite climate conditions of Mehsana, a city of North Gujarat, India during sunshine hours of January 2011 to June 2011. Theoretical and experimental analysis of three different thicknesses of glass cover is carried out by heat and mass transfer analysis to determine the optimum thickness of glass cover for the effective distillate output from solar still and validation between them. After six months of experiments, it has found that 4 mm and 5 mm glass cover thickness increased average distillate output of 27 % and 12 % compared with 6 mm glass cover thickness. Also theoretical results found good match with experimental results.
