Exergetic analysis of passive and active solar stills
This paper presents an exergetic analysis for passive and active solar distillation systems. The analysis is based on mass, energy and exergy balance equations, which has not been attempted in the past for active solar stills. In the present paper, it has been tried to compare the hourly exergy and thermal efficiency of passive and active solar stills. The values of hourly exergy and thermal ...

Thermal modelling, validation and exergetic analysis of a hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) active solar still
This paper presents the thermal analysis of a self sustainable, new design of hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) active solar distillation system. The experiments were conducted for 24 h (7am-7am) for the New Delhi (India) climatic conditions on typical days during the month of April 2006 for water at different depths (i.e., 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 m) in order to validate the experimental results, a ...

Two proposals for unlimited fresh water
The world water crisis may be more serious than generally appreciated. One reason for this is that the main response has been to increase storage of rain rather than to increase the amount of fresh water. Another is that fossil groundwater has been widely seen as inexhaustible. Two fresh water collecting systems are outlined here and it is argued that they have no ultimate limitation, either by ...

The effect of sponge liner on the performance of simple solar still
In conventional solar stills, a part of the radiation is reflected by the inner wall surfaces to the still components and the remaining energy is stored by itself. The main objectives of this experimental study are: 1) to utilise the energy available on the inner wall surfaces of a still by using sponge liner; 2) to find the optimum thickness of sponge liner. Two single-slope solar stills are ...

Advanced Solar Thermal Technologies for Clean Water
Artic Solar proposes to integrate a high temperature solar thermal collector and a proprietary steam generator to provide the steam and the required energy for a solar thermal distillation or evaporation system. The ability to generate steam on a continuous basis using water for the heat transfer fluid in the collector closed loop increases efficiency and lowers the cost of energy required for ...
