Abstract Ocean water is characterized by very high salinity, which generally makes it unsuitable for human or animal's needs. The production of potable water from the ocean, therefore, requires a desalination process, which is often regarded as the crucial limitation to overcome towards widespread use of ocean water as the primary source of water for human consumption. In this study, we analyze both experimentally and theoretically the thermal performances and productivity of a solar still based on a novel form of absorber plate. The related system of energy equations consists of five heat exchange relationships in the form of first differential… More >
