“…The literature employed different types of fins, including pin fins, circular fins, rectangular fins, hollow circular fins, and others [25,26,[28][29][30]. Furthermore, several studies have investigated the utilization of fins in different solar still designs, including the Pin Fin type with FLBS solar still, a flat horizontal fin on single slope solar still, and a heat sink type fin on pyramid solar still [18][19][20]. Despite the variation in the number of fins in those articles, the information provided showed a large fin gap that might cause inefficiency in consuming the entered energy even though the fin was already in use.…”

“…This is because the additional fins cast shadows on adjacent fin areas, limiting the probability of heat absorption [18]. Furthermore, Elgendi et al, [19] conducted a study utilizing variations of the Distributed Heat Sink (DHS) 49-block heat sink and the Group Heat Sink (GHS). The results for DHS and GHS exhibit a 24%-30% increase compared to the conventional single-slope type [19].…”

“…The article solely discusses the distribution of energy received by GHS, which was found to be more efficient compared to DHS. Nevertheless, it lacks to offer a comprehensive explanation of the physical phenomenon about the intensity of solar radiation the device absorbs and the energy losses it encounters [19]. Moreover, Miramoto et al, [20] conducted research on the same concept, but with a greater number of horizontally-oriented fins.…”

This present study conducted an experimental analysis of the use of hollow circular fins (HCF) within the conventional single-slope solar still (CS4) chamber. To enhance energy absorption, the optimal HCF numbers were increased by the available chamber space. The three identical CS4 testing chambers were examined in the climatic conditions of the Sebelas Maret University Faculty of Engineering, located in Kentingan, Surakarta, Indonesia. The HCF absorber is implemented with 176 HCF, 176 HCF, and 216 HCF within the chamber space. The findings indicate that there is a direct correlation between the increased HCF numbers and both productivity and efficiency. The efficiency for 117 HCF, 176 HCF, and 216 HCF is 27.04%, 35.20%, and 42.16% respectively. Therefore, it was determined that correlation analysis significantly contributed to the relationship between the HCF implementation and the different radiation intensities in day-to-day testing. To obtain a more comprehensive analysis, the randomized complete block design (RCBD) experiment in collaboration using least squares regression was conducted to compare the experimental production of CS4 with its predicted value.
