Abstract
In this communication, a transient analysis of a double slope single basin solar still has been presented, incorporating the effects of inlet temperature of waste hot fluid (water, in this case), heat exchanger length, temperature dependence of internal heat transfer coefficients, water depth, flow rate of waste hot water, etc. It is observed that the internal evaporative heat transfer coefficient is a strong function of the initial water temperature of the waste hot water. Numerical calculations have been made for a typical summer day in Delhi, viz. 26 May 1978. On the basis of the numerical results, some interesting conclusions have been drawn.
