Experimental analysis of innovative designs for solar still desalination technologies; An in-depth technical and economic assessment

Ali Sohani et al.

Summary: The impact of using side mirrors and sun tracking on the performance of a solar still was investigated in detail using experimental data. The study showed that employing both improvement strategies led to overall enhancement in water temperature, fresh water production, cumulative yield, daily produced distillate, daily efficiency, and cost per liter. By combining sun tracking and side mirrors, significant improvements were observed in various performance criteria, indicating the effectiveness of these strategies in enhancing the solar still's performance.

Modeling and performance analysis of a hybrid conventional solar still-adsorption desalination system

P. Abhishek et al.

Summary: This study presents a thermodynamic modeling and performance analysis of a hybrid desalination system consisting of a conventional solar still (CSS) and an adsorption desalination system (ADS). The system's water productivity and coefficient of performance were evaluated, and exergy loss and efficiency were also assessed based on the second law of thermodynamics. The hybrid system showed a maximum water productivity of 750ml and a coefficient of performance of 0.58, with main exergy destruction occurring in the solar still basin and adsorbent bed of ADS.
