Analytical Comparison and Evaluation of Single Slope Single Basin Stepped Type Solar Still

thermal engineering

Concern for environment and ever increasing demand for energy, combined with relentless advancement in renewable energy innovations, are interested in the new opportunities to accomplish in the field of use of renewable energy resources. Till date, solar energy is the most clean, cheap and inexhaustible among all renewable resources. The power from the sun is many times larger than the present rate of energy consumption on the earth. Solar still is one of the finest ways to harness the solar power. A simple and effective device which is applied for obtain distilled water from the saline water with the solar desalination process is known as solar still. The conventional still produces 2–3 l fresh water per day (9AM to 5PM) but the output of stepped solar still is quite high compared to the conventional. There are various scientists and researchers who investigated the effect of design parameters, climate parameters and operational parameters to review the effect of these parameters with the yield of still. In this paper there are the various results and the comparison of the mathematical results with the experiment is being held and the final results have been conducted.
