PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF FLAT PLATE SOLAR STILL WITH DIFFERENT PASSIVE TECHNIQUES
Abstract
Experimental Investigation to study the effect of coupling a flat plate solar collector on the productivity of solar stills was carried out. Other different parameters (i.e. water depth, direction of still, solar radiation) to enhance the productivity were also studied. Single slope solar still with different sheets fixed to its interior sides was coupled with a flat plate collector. It has been found that coupling of a solar collector with a still has increased the productivity by 36%. Also the increase of water depth has decreased the productivity, while the still productivity is found to be proportional to the solar radiation intensity
