Theoretical analysis of a triangular pyramid solar still integrated to an inclined solar still with baffles

This paper presents the theoretical analysis of a triangular pyramid solar still integrated to an inclined solar still with baffles. The performance of the solar still depends on water mass inside the basin. The yield of triangular pyramid solar still is increased by integrating it to an inclined solar still with baffles. Analytically, the water mass inside the basin is increased from 20 to 100 kg. Theoretical results show that the increase in water mass decreases the yield from 6% to 46% during the daytime, whereas due to thermal energy storage at higher mass, the yield during the nighttime increases from 46% to 86% with integration. Similarly, a triangular pyramid solar still is theoretically analysed for its performance.
