Abstract

With rising population, industrialization and environmental pollution, availability of portable water is shrinking day by day. It is necessary to focus on the purification of the water available. There are number of technologies available to purify water, distillation of water using solar still is one of them. It is an attractive option because of its low cost and low energy and skill requirement. However, its efficiency is low so it is required to improve the designs of the existing solar stills to improve the efficiency. Hence a model of a simple solar still is developed for evaporation and condensation process. Experimental results in Solar Still are being compared with the analytical result data of double slope solar still at climatic conditions of Vellore (latitude of 12.92020 N, longitude of 79.1330 E).
