Performance Analysis of Modified Basin Type Double Slope Multi-Wick Solar Still
TLDR
In this article, the 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.Abstract:
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.read more
