| description | By utilizing novel techniques on the absorber plates as well as the glass cover, this effort attempts to increase the distilled water productivity of a modified pyramid solar still. Under the climatic conditions of Iraq, the use of basin absorber plates with slices along its length, and a W-shaped glass cover was investigated experimentally and numerically. In this work, two comparable solar stills with basin absorber plates of 1 m2 have been planned and built using regional resources. Two absorber plates made of stainless steel were produced, first one was solid and the second was sliced. Two covers made of glass were produced one has a pyramid-shaped glass cover and the other a W-shape. According to experimental and numerical findings, forming slices and changing the glass cover resulted in a 20 % increase in the amount of distilled water. when compared to a pyramid glass cover and a standard sort of absorber plate. |
