Experimental investigation of solar still productivity enhancement of distilled water by using natural fibers

AbedAlrzaq Alshqirate et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to enhance fresh water productivity by improving solar stills. The performance parameters of two solar stills were experimentally investigated, comparing a pyramid solar still with natural fiber and a conventional solar still. Natural fibers were inserted to increase evaporation rate and surface area exposed to sunray, resulting in increased water productivity. The daily accumulative freshwater productivity was 44.5% higher with natural fiber compared to the conventional still. The thermal energy efficiency, exergy efficiency, and cost of producing fresh water were also improved with natural fiber.

Performance evaluation of a solar desalination-hot water system using heat pipe vacuum tube parabolic trough solar collector-An experimental study with Taguchi analysis

Bagher Omidi et al.

Summary: This study investigated a hybrid system that utilizes renewable energy to generate hot water and distilled water. The system uses a parabolic-trough heat pipe solar collector to produce hot water and provide drinking water. By increasing the temperature of the evaporator area and the condenser of the heat pipe, the system is able to directly connect to the desalination system's saltwater tank. The study evaluated the effects of water flow rate, number of heat pipes, and the filling porous medium of the vacuum tube on the system performance.
