Abstract:
Based on energy balances for different components of a multi-basin solar still, namely, the basin-liner, the water mass and the glass cover, analytical expressions for water and glass temperatures have been derived in terms of climatic and design parameters of the system. It is inferred that the daily yield is a maximum for the least water depth in each basin
