A new design of a tubular multiwick solar still is proposed and investigated. A theoretical analysis of this still, along with the energy balance equations for simple multiwick and tubular solar stills, is presented. The proposed designs are compared. The results obtained show that the tubular...

This paper is devoted to the development of a transient model of the performance of a double-basin solar still. Integration of the still with a heat exchanger has been suggested in order to enhance its distillate output per unit area. This integration can be achieved by flowing hot fluid through...
