Enhance the Productivity of the Solar Still by Improving the Operational Parameters
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
The productivity of the still is mainly depends upon various operational parameters. In this project a cooling wick is fixed at the top of the glass, and the cooling water is allowed to flow continuously, through the wick, in order to reduce the glass temperature. A mini solar pond and a flat plate collector also integrated with the glass cover cooled solar still in order to increase the inlet water temperature, Here two models were fabricated one is basic model and the another one is still with cooling wick at the top of the glass. Various readings were taken throughout the day and readings were tabulated. The results showing that the glass cooled solar still integrated with flat plate collector gives the higher productivity than the basic solar still. The productivity of the still is improved by 27.32%, the daily water collection of the glass cover cooled solar still integrated with mini solar pond is found that 59.5%.
