Experimental study of a novel portable solar still by utilizing the heatpipe and thermoelectric module

An experimental investigation on a solar still with an integrated flat plate collector

“…(2) and (3) as given by Rahbar and Esfahani [28] and experimental errors are calculated as given by Velmurugan et al [29].…”

Effects of amount and mode of input energy on the performance of a multi-stage solar still: An experimental study

“…Passive systems [1][2][3][4] are those which receive no energy form non-solar energy sources while active systems [5][6][7][8][9] receive some energy from an external source in addition to the common solar energy to raise the temperature and consequently the evaporation rate of undistilled water. This external energy can be supplied by solar collectors [10][11][12][13] or the thermal energy wasted in industrial units [14].…”

Examination of a solar desalination system equipped with an air bubble column humidifier, evacuated tube collectors and thermosyphon heat pipes

“…The rate of hourly desalinated water was measured by a jar with the resolution of 10 mL. In this study, all measured data are expected to be uniformly distributed; therefore, their uncertainty is of the Type B and was calculated according to [25]. The results are shown in Table 2.…”
