Enhancing the wick solar still performance using half barrel and corrugated absorbers

Enhancement of pyramid solar distiller performance using reflectors, cooling cycle, and dangled cords of wicks

In this paper, effect of brackish water depth and wick material on the performance of modified basin type double slope multi-wick solar still (MBDSMS) has been studied at MNNIT, Allahabad, U.P., India. Modifications made in the conventional Multi-wick solar still leads to significant increase in the heat input, yield obtained and overall efficiency of the modified design. Total yield obtained shows increase with decrease in the depth of brackish water and black cotton as wick material is found to be more effective in comparision to jute wick.
