| description | The objective of the current study is to evaluate and appreciate various design parameters for simple solar stills impact yielding rate and heat transmission characteristics. For improved utility, indicators and performance comparisons of several solar stills have also been created. In the case of the enhanced wick, most of the researchers use wick on water surfaces to enhance the evaporation rate. It has been observed that the solar stills with wet wick on the side walls provide high porosity with thin film evaporation, thus improving distillation. Also, the solar stills with wick integration were superior to other types of solar desalination systems that utilize wicking materials to enhance the evaporation and condensation processes. The interpretations were significantly carried out, and numerous recommendations for future improvement and the generation of novel concepts to work around practical constraints were also made in the present study.
HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights wet wick on the side wall provide high porosity.;
Wick-supported thin film evaporation improves distillation.;
Enhanced vaporization surface along with condensation area is a good suggestion for a significant solar still system.; |
