The primary objective of the current research is to augment potable water yield solar still (SS). This achieved by integrating a used brushed refinishing pad (BRP) as porous material (PM) in absorber basin. integration maximizes wet surface area due pad's nature, thereby enhancing photothermal absorption, which process where absorbs light and converts it into heat. An experimental investigation was conducted analyze effect materials rectangular pyramid (RPSS) regarding feasibility. results were compared with those conventional (CSS), revealing noteworthy enhancement production RPSS-PM, showing 47.7 % increase on day one 48.1 second mere 10 rise basin temperatures. energy efficiency RPSS-PM improved significantly about 9 both days CSS. From an economic perspective, this system's payback period (PBP) 5.2 months, 6.1 months for Furthermore, cost per liter (CPL) produced 16.6 lower than that innovative approach holds great potential effectively addressing challenges related scarcity.

Experimental study of wick materials and funnel surface inclination angle on square pyramid solar still in the winter season

International Journal of Ambient Energy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 46(1)

Published: March 7, 2025

The lower productivity of square pyramid solar still is the prime impediment to its worldwide applicability. An attempt has been made improve utilising novel augmented technique – funnel integrated with wick material. funnels were attached basin still, and one end material was spread over upper portion surface funnel, while other dipped into saline water in basin. At 1, 2 3 cm depth, impact materials (black colour-painted jute cloth, black melton wool cotton cloth) inclination angles (15°, 20° 25°) investigated. For each case, three sets experiments carried out for days a row four alike stills under weather conditions (20.61° N 72.91° E) winter season. maximum achieved: 2.1432 L/m2 at 2.5368 1 angle 25° cloth 2.8032 without cloth.
