Abstract
Water is essential to life. The origin and continuation of mankind is based on water. The supply of drinking water is an important problem for the developing countries. The wooden box has a thickness of 8mm. It consists of a top cover of transparent glass with a tilt of 18°, 26° and is coated with black paint to absorb the maximum possible solar energy. The yield of the single basin solar still is very less and it increases considerably when the solar still was built with copper sheet. An analysis of single slope solar still has done on different tilt angle to optimizing study of tilt angle. They greatly improve the rate of evaporation and the rate of condensation on the cooler surface. The efficiency is higher for solar still made up of copper sheet and its output we have got 1.24 for 18° angle. The optimized tilt angle gave more efficiency than other tilt angle. The optimize water depth is 18mm for 18° angle. This cost-effective design is expected to provide the rural communities an efficient way to convert the brackish water in to potable water.
