An extra degree of complication has been added to the problem as a consequence of the depletion of freshwater resources brought on by human activities. The primary objective of the present study is to enhance the rate of fresh water generation through the low-cost solar desalination unit using iron oxide as coating material using different thickness of water placed in the absorber plate. The experimental results revealed that the influence of metal oxide nanoparticle as absorber coating material improved the rate of fresh water generation by 36.08 % than the conventional solar still at a minimum thickness of water as 1 cm in the absorber. The palatable fresh water generated from the SS without any absorber coating for the thickness of water as 10, 20 and 30 mm is found to be 3.85, 3.09 and 2.90 kg/m<sup>2</sup> respectively. However, with effective coating of the absorber plate using Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticle, the cumulative daily palatable water generated from the solar still for different thickness of water as 10, 20 and 30 mm is enhanced to about 6.03, 5.36 and 4.72 kg/m<sup>2</sup> respectively.

This paper presents a mathematical model and its validation for a novel 'internal' active cooling mechanism, proposed elsewhere, for lowering the temperature of a crystalline silicon PV module.

When compared to external air convection at a flow rate of 2 m/s, the proposed internal cooling method reduced the temperature of a Si solar cell by at least 5 °C.

In this review, existing SWH systems and design aspects of major components e.g., solar thermal collector, storage tank, heat exchanger, heat transferring fluid, absorber plate, etc. were extensively studied. Recent research to further improve SWH systems and potential practical applications are critically reviewed. Moreover, a relatively new concept in SWH systems, which is using nanofluids in solar collectors as heat transfer fluid has been studied in terms of design criteria for the development of SWH systems. Stationary flat plate collector (FPC) and single-axis tracking compound parabolic collector (CPC) exhibit thermal efficiencies of 45–60 % (operating range: 25–100 °C) and 30–50 % (operating range: 60–300 °C), respectively. The use of thermal stratification structures e.g., diffusers, baffles, membranes, fabrics, etc. is an effective tool to reduce heat losses from the storage tank as well as to harvest the highest energy from the solar collector. Coating of nanomaterials e.g., nickel, copper, etc. was found to reduce the backside heat loss in SWJ systems which eventually increases the thermal performance of the system. Nanofluids consisting of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> increased the effectiveness of FPC by 28.3 and 35 %, respectively. Moreover, using CuO nanofluids, the collector efficiency of a typical evacuated tube collector (ETC) was increased by up to 12.4 %. Several potential future recommendations for improving the performance of the SWH system were stated.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":428,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy","volume":"264 ","pages":"Article 111998"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0038092X23006321/pdfft?md5=07339fd38905f1e99490b33bd045fe4b&pid=1-s2.0-S0038092X23006321-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92041942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
