Effect Of Cone Shape Condenser Plate Tilt Angle On Solar Still Productivity

The demand for fresh water continues to increase and it is crucial for sustaining life. One approach to meet this demand is through desalination of sea water. Solar desalination is a low cost technique to produce fresh water with a simple working process. The still's design parameters such as the cover angle and material can impact the yield. This research aspires to examine the influence of cone condenser plate tilt angle on the solar still throughput. Results showed that the utmost amount of fresh water produced is from the still with the tilt angle of 50 degrees.
