Abstract

Desalination of water has been one of the most important technological work undertaken in many countries, in particular Middle East. For this purpose, solar energy is the attractive familiar way in producing such fresh water where the cost of other energy is continuously increased. This paper represents the experimental results carried out with a solar still with inclined evaporating yute to study the effects of air gap, base slope angle and glass cover slope angle on the performance of the still. In order to investigate the parameters involved in the still, three models have been designed, manufactured and tested against some experimental measurements on a still having 1m × 1m basin area. The models have been designed in a way that it can give different base slope angle and glass slope angle. A comparison between the three models has been made for three glass slope angles. The test results show that the model with base slope of 15° and glass slope of 35° gives the best results. It gives a daily desalinated water quantity of 5.6 liter/m2.day.
