Solar still is one of the best solutions to solve water problem in remote arid areas. This device is not popular because of its lower productivity. One of the methods to increase the productivity is by decrease the volumetric heat capacity of the basin. A layer of water with wick material in the...

Solar energy sources, having the potential to provide energy services with zero emissions of air pollutants, have become more economically attractive with technological improvements. Organic Solar cells promise to be a significant contributor to our future energy system with suitable...

Scarcity for water exists in many countries even though three-fourth of the earth is covered by water. The reasons for scarcity of water are worldwide rapid growth of industry and immeasurable population. Solar still is the only efficient solution for water problem in hot climatic conditional...

This paper presents up to date developments in integrated collector storage solar water heater (ICSSWH) using compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) collector. Performance of integrated compound parabolic concentrator storage solar water heater (ICPCSSWH) is affected by various parameters such as...

Basin type solar still is a simple device which can be used for fresh water production. The main drawback of a conventional basin solar still is the low amount of distilled water production per unit area which makes the single-basin solar still uneconomical. In inclined still, higher surface...

Solar still is a simple device which can convert available waste or brackish water into potable water using solar energy. A single basin double slope solar still with an inner basin size 2.08 m x 0.84 m x 0.075 m and that of the outer basin size...
