Improving the thermo-physical characteristics of water by the simple process of suspending
nano-size particles may enhance the performance of solar distillation systems. More solar …

Nanofluids, due to their superior thermal properties, have immense applications in heat
transfer process. In view of this, nanofluids, as working fluids in solar thermal systems, have …

A sustainable and cost-effective technique for desalinating water with solar energy to
alleviate the freshwater scarcity is the solar still. In this study, four different cases including …

Researchers have attempted different Energy storage materials (ESM) in solar stills (SS) to
improve distillate yield. In this experimental work, an attempt was made to increase the …

Access to fresh water is one of the most vital needs of human society. The use of solar
energy as free and available energy in solar desalination can meet this important need. A …

In present study, performance of two nanofluid-based solar stills at the peak of Mount Tochal
nearly 4000 m and city of Tehran during four consecutive days in July 2018 for the first time …

People who live in isolated coastal locations currently struggle to find clean drinking water in
many areas. There are a number of ways to obtain pure drinking water; however, the solar …

Demand of fresh water is rising continuously because of increase in population. This has
created an undue burden on limited reserves of fresh water. Desalination is one of the …

Solar still (SS), being one of the convenient solar desalination systems, has been widely
studied in terms of their productivity, efficiency, and economics during the last decades …

The main aim of the present work is to see the effect of vertical and inclined fins on the yield
of solar still. Three same size solar stills have been used to carry out research work in …
