Abstract:

Solar still is simple device to convert available saline water into drinkable water. In country like India, single slope solar still is used. Their usages are prohibited by their cost. This required study on the modeling and transport parameters determination of basin solar still for an efficient design. Hence a three-dimensional, two-phase model was developed for evaporation and condensation processes in solar still by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method to simulate the model. The simulation results were compared with the available experimental data(Research Paper) of basin solar still. The amount of fresh water productivity and water temperature were in good agreement with experimental data. The objective of the study was to determine a best combination of different parameter for good convective and evaporative heat transfer coefficients.
