Experimental investigation of simultaneous effect of parabolic trough collector and flat external reflectors on performance of stepped solar still

In this research, the performance of a stepped solar still has been experimentally evaluated. For this purpose, a parabolic trough collector has been used to preheat the saline water entering the solar still. Also, two flat external reflectors have been employed to increase the amount of solar energ...
