Abstract
: The present paper deals with experiments performed on a conventional single slope solar still with various quantities of saline water (20kgs, 30 kgs and 40 kgs) and also deals with experiments conducted in a modified still which is directly placed on ground without insulation at the sides and bottom of the still. Further a modification is made to a still by removing insulation so that heat stored in the earth surface is utilized to heat the saline/sea water during the evening hours. Initially experiments are performed for 20 kg, 30 kg, 40kgs of saline water using conventional still to get the optimized quantity. From the results it is observed that there is an increase of 18.5% in the yield when earth heat is used and 28% when 25 mm depth of granite gravel is used in addition to earth heat. Further the study is extended to compare the analytical and experimental cumulative yield for three different quantity of saline water.
