A solar distillation in a single basin is studied theoretically and experimentally. We present a mathematical model to describe the energy balances for the glass cover, water in the basin and base plate. The model neglects the thermal capacity of the base plate and the temperature gradient...

Throught this work, a theoritical and experimental study of a small solar still of a domestic type with two distinct compartments has been lead. It is shown in this study that the Dunkle's relation about the productivity of a classical still can be applied to our system in order to predict...
