PARAMETRIC STUDIES ON A DOUBLE BASIN SOLAR STILL

Abstract

Parametric studies on a double basin solar still is presented. Explicit expressions are obtained for the temperatures of various components of the system, distillate output and the efficiency. Effects of the still parameters are also incorporated in the analysis. For appreciation of the analytical results, numerical calculations have been carried out using meteorological parameters of a typical day in Delhi. The parametric investigations reveal some worthinteresting results.
