Single-effect solar still is a simple solar device used for converting the available brackish or
waste water into potable water. This device has many advantages like, easily fabricated from …

This paper attempts to categorize solar stills into six sorts based on the design guidelines
used in each device. The properties of these design guidelines are detailed and evaluated …

Although desalination technologies have been widely adopted as a means to produce
freshwater, many of them require large installations and access to advanced infrastructure …

The use of graphite and copper oxide micro-flakes with different concentrations, different
basin water depths, and different film cooling flow rates is experimentally investigated in an …

Purifying water using solar energy is a suitable green technique for rejecting salts from
saline water. Solar stills are famous and simple devices for sea water desalination but their …

Distilled water productivity of the single basin solar still is very low. In this work, to augment
evaporation of the still basin water, fins were integrated at the basin of the still. Thus …

Although, more than two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water, shortage of potable water is
a serious issue that many countries suffer from. Furthermore, the worldwide rapid growth of …

Water is vital to life and supplying of potable water can hardly be overstressed in recent
years. The conventional desalination processes require significant amount of energy to …

In this paper, a stepped basin is used to improve the performance of solar still. An
experimental as well as theoretical investigation is carried out. Two solar stills are used …

This paper aims to improve the performance of the pyramid distiller (PD) through an
experimental investigation of three proposed modifications applied to the traditional pyramid …
