Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental study on a hemispherical solar still
Thirugnanasambantham Arunkumar,R. Jayaprakash,David Denkenberger,Amimul Ahsan,M. S. Okundamiya,Sanjay Kumar,Hiroshi Tanaka,Hikmet S. Aybar +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new design of solar still with a hemispherical top cover for water desalination with and without flowing water over the cover is reported, and the daily distillate output of the system is increased by lowering the temperature of the cover by water flowing over it.
Journal ArticleDOI
The augmentation of distillate yield by using concentrator coupled solar still with phase change material
TL;DR: In this article, a phase change material (PCM) was added to the concentrator-coupled hemispherical basin solar still to augment the efficiency and distillate yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review of integrating solar collectors to solar still
Ravishankar Sathyamurthy,S.A. El-Agouz,P.K. Nagarajan,J. Subramani,Thirugnanasambantham Arunkumar,D. Mageshbabu,B. Madhu,R. Bharathwaaj,N. Prakash +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed review of a solar still integrated to solar collectors for augmenting the yield of fresh water is presented, and the yield, economic aspects and payback period of different solar still are reviewed, and a possible conclusion with the integration of low-cost solar water heater and nanofluids in solar Water heater are arrived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Productivity enhancements of compound parabolic concentrator tubular solar stills
Thirugnanasambantham Arunkumar,Ramalingam Velraj,David Denkenberger,Ravishankar Sathyamurthy,K. Vinoth Kumar,Amimul Ahsan +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of compound parabolic concentrator assisted tubular solar still (CPC-TSS) with different augmentation systems was studied. And the results showed that, the productivity of un-augmented CPCTSS and CPC-CTSS were 3710 ml /day and 4960 ml/day, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of water and air flow on concentric tubular solar water desalting system
Thirugnanasambantham Arunkumar,R. Jayaprakash,Amimul Ahsan,David Denkenberger,M. S. Okundamiya +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported an innovative design of tubular solar still with a rectangular basin for water desalination with flowing water and air over the cover, and the daily distillate output was increased by lowering the temperature of water flowing over it (top cover cooling arrangement).
