TL;DR: In this article, five alternative combinations were applied on and under the still basin to enhance tubular solar still performance, and the results showed that the productivity was enhanced by 21.4, 42.77, 58.48, 73.56, and 88.84% for the cases with the previous order.
Abstract: Herein, five alternative combinations were applied on and under the still basin to enhance tubular solar still performance. Firstly, using a v-corrugated aluminum basin. Secondly, adding wick material to the v-corrugated aluminum basin. Thirdly, adding carbon black (CB) nanofluid on wick material located on the v-corrugated aluminum basin (heat localization). Fourthly, using phase change materials (pure paraffin wax) under the v-corrugated aluminum basin integrated with wicks and carbon black nanofluid (1.5 wt.%). Finally, the best case consists of the v-corrugated basin combined with wick, 1.5 wt.% CB nanofluid and CB nanoparticles with 3 wt.% were added to paraffin wax under the basin. The results showed that the productivity was enhanced by 21.4, 42.77, 58.48, 73.56, and 88.84% for the cases with the previous order. For the best case (fifth case), the thermal energy and exergy efficiencies were enhanced by 82.16 and 221.8%, respectively, whereas the cost could be saved by 22.47 %, compared to the conventional tubular solar still. Accordingly, the proposed materials and their combinations led to acceptable and feasible enhancement in the tubular solar still performance due to the improved heat transfer characteristics, and hence the increased evaporation rate.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a modified double slope still (MDSSS) was evaluated compared to conventional single slope one (CSS), and the modifications depended on different additives, namely: copper chips, copper oxide nanoparticles/fluid, and paraffin wax as phase change material (PCM).
