Abstract
In present research work, two different types solar stills - conventional solar still and advanced solar still (ASS) have been studied. To enhance the yield (productivity) of ASS a nano-phase change material (ZnO-PCM) has been used. Conventional and advanced solar still performance is compared under same climatological conditions in two investigation sets. Maximum thermal efficiency and improved yield are obtained as 51% and 6600 ml/m2 for ASS-ZnO-PCM, respectively. Thus, cmulative yield of ASS-ZnO/PCM (6600 ml/m2) was nearly 113% more than conventional SS (3090 ml/m2.day). As a result, the productivity of ASS-ZnO/PCM has increased by about 36% employing the PCM.
