| Abstract: | This study presents design, fabrication and testing of
double slope solar still and also optimization of glass tilt angle (25, 30,
35 and 40°) and water depth (1, 2 and 3 cm) in Saudi
Arabian climatic conditions. Optimum tilt angle was found to be 35° for both
summer and winter seasons, and also productivity
increases with reduction in water depth. A number of existing energy and mass
balance equations were used to validate experimental
results. Numerical and experimental results were in good agreement with an
RMS error of 5-10%. |
