Abstract
Different shaped floating wick (FW) material in the basin improved the efficacy of a single slope solar still (SS). Thermocol is used to support a basin in which cotton wicks are suspended. The three forms of modified solar stills (MSS) are analyzed, each with a unique absorber geometry. Absorber surfaces in the MSS-RCT (Rectangular teeth), MSS-ITT (Isosceles Triangular teeth), and MSS-HCT (Half-circular teeth) configurations are made up of FW layers. These improved designs are far more efficient and effective than the Conventional solar still (CSS). All MSS absorber surfaces produce more potable water than the CSS experiment does for the bulk of the workday. The MSS-HCT process achieved a maximum daily yield that was on par with that of the other modified stills and a 68 % increase in daily yield compared to the CSS process.
