Two phase simulation of solar still in the presence of phase change materials in its bottom and aluminum nanoparticles in the water

This article performs a numerical study on a transient solar still (SOST) by utilizing a variable heat flux using COMSOL software. A phase change material (PCM) layer with a thickness of 10–50 mm is placed at the bottom of the desalination. Some aluminum nanoparticles are added to the water in the w...
