As the world population continues to grow, demand for clean water is increasing daily, making it a crucial resource access. However, there are ways harness abundant resources like solar energy and seawater produce water. The present studies have conducted experimental investigations convert into freshwater using stills, where utilized as primary heat source evaporation. temperature distribution inside stills was analyzed flat plate made of three different materials: copper, stainless steel, aluminum. To examine performance researchers employed computational fluid dynamics simulations (Ansys R15.0). results showed variations in among materials. Copper plates achieved highest temperature, approximately 44.5 Celsius, followed by aluminum at 43.91 while steel exhibited lowest around 42.01 Celsius. average flux across materials 581 W/m2. Additionally, observations indicated that amount convection occurring copper 121.108 Watts; aluminum, 118.517 105.05 Watts. radiation 29.93 W; 16.14 13.49 W.
