Abstract
Water that can be consumed is necessary for life to exist. One of the biggest issues that humanity faces globally is access to drinking water, particularly in rural and dry areas. Solar distillation is now the most effective nonconventional and environmentally benign way to fi lter brackish or marine waters. This experimental work seeks to increase the yield of traditional single-slope solar stills using fi nned tube solar collectors. Experimental results carried out under the climatic conditions of Najaf, Iraq (32 (cid:1) 1 38.55 00 N/44 (cid:1) 19 ′ 59.22 ′ ′ E) showed that the maximum basin water temperature of fi nned tubes solar collector [modify solar still (MSS)] is 64.1 (cid:1) C and for conventional solar still (CSS) is 45.8 (cid:1) C at 14:00 p.m. This behavior is the same for the other temperatures (vapor, inner glass surface, and outer glass surface). Also, the water and inner glass surfaces ’ temperature difference (T w -T g,in ) is 3.9 (cid:1) C for MSS and 1.8 (cid:1) C for CSS. The daily productivity of MSS is 4.766 l/m 2 day, with an enhancement of 65.12% as compared with that of CSS. The exergy ef fi ciency increases with time to reach its maximum value of 32.53% at 15:00 p.m. for the MSS and 13.78% at 14:00 p.m. for the CSS. With respect to cost analysis, employing a fi nned tube collector alongside CSS affords the lowest cost per liter of distillate. Speci fi cally, the cost is equivalent to 0.04 USD.
期刊介绍:
Egyptian Journal of Petroleum is addressed to the fields of crude oil, natural gas, energy and related subjects. Its objective is to serve as a forum for research and development covering the following areas: • Sedimentation and petroleum exploration. • Production. • Analysis and testing. • Chemistry and technology of petroleum and natural gas. • Refining and processing. • Catalysis. • Applications and petrochemicals. It also publishes original research papers and reviews in areas relating to synthetic fuels and lubricants - pollution - corrosion - alternate sources of energy - gasification, liquefaction and geology of coal - tar sands and oil shale - biomass as a source of renewable energy. To meet with these requirements the Egyptian Journal of Petroleum welcomes manuscripts and review papers reporting on the state-of-the-art in the aforementioned topics. The Egyptian Journal of Petroleum is also willing to publish the proceedings of petroleum and energy related conferences in a single volume form.
