| description | Solar distillation collectors are the device that runs on freshwater products. The solar still is one solar thermal technology for purification of water. This technique is employed to convert saline water into freshwater. At this time, the human being increased freshwater required consumption because of the increasing population density. The thermal analysis of a new design of cylindrical solar still (CSS) with hemispherical cover has been studied. A computer simulation model was improved to investigate its performance. The 2D symmetry simulation models of cylindrical solar still have been validated. The simulation model can emulate the temperature value of different points inside the CSS. The simulation results confirm an acceptable agreement with the experimental result was reported in the literature. From this simulation, it was noted that the freshwater product from the cylindrical solar still obtains the maximum daily productivity of 6.1 kg/m2 as compared to a traditional single slope solar still SSS as 3.18 kg/m2 during the day. |
