Employing convex shape absorber for enhancing the performance of solar still desalination system

A. S. Abdullah et al.

Summary: This paper presents an experimental study on a new solar still called convex SS. The results showed that the convex SS had higher productivity compared to the conventional SS, especially at 15 cm convex height and with jute wick.
