The availability of potable water is reducing day by day due to rapid growth in the human population and un-planned industrialization around the globe. Although human beings cannot think of survival in the absence of water, the global leadership can still not implement their pacts in reality. Solar still is one of the prominent ways of getting potable water from contaminated water. This manuscript reports the experimental evaluation and developed ANN model for the single basin solar stills having augmentations with the sand-filled cotton bags and ferrite ring permanent magnets. Root mean square error (RMSE), efficiency coefficient (E), the overall index of model performance (OI), and coefficient of residual mass (CRM) values are in good agreement with the proposed developed model of ANN. The proposed ANN model can be utilized to predict distillate yield with a variation of 5% for the reported modified stills. Overall correlation coefficient of CSS, MSS-1&2 are 0.98171, 0.9867, and 0.99542, respectively.

“…Previous studies [ 1 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 16 , 18 , 20 ] have evaluated the efficiency on the basis of the average temperature-dependent latent heat of vaporization of the feed water and the average irradiance received by the basin across the productivity hours, as giving in Eq. (4) and usually referred to as daily efficiency (

), where

is the hourly distillate yield, in kg;

is the surface area of the basin, in m 2 ;

is the hourly irradiance, in W/m 2 ; and

is the latent heat of vaporization of water, in J/kg.…”

Numerous studies are being conducted on solar desalination systems with creating new designs to improve the efficiency and yield of these systems. Hemispherical solar still has a relatively large throughput because of its large exposure and evaporation surface areas compared to the other distiller designs. To get the optimal conditions of the parameters that provide the highest productivity of the hemispherical still, three hemispherical basin stills were fabricated and tested. The experiments were performed in three stages: In the first one, the traditional hemispherical solar still THSS (a reference distiller) was compared by THSS with internal reflective mirrors (THSS-IRM). In the second stage, the effect of using different basin metals (THSS with basin metal of zinc (THSS-IRMZ) and basin metal of copper (THSS-IRMC)) with internal reflective mirrors was studied. In the third stage, the two distillers were investigated under using energy storage medium (30 g/L sand grains for each). The THSS with internal reflective mirrors, basin metal of zinc, and energy storage medium is abbreviated by THSS-IRMZSG. Also, THSS with internal reflective mirrors, basin metal of copper, and energy storage medium is abbreviated by THSS-IRMCSG. Moreover, THSS with internal reflective mirrors and energy storage medium is abbreviated by THSS-IRMSG. The results showed that the combination of using internal reflective mirrors, basin material (copper) and energy storage medium provided the best improvement of hemispherical distillation device. The maximum cumulative yield of THSS-IRMCSG was 11.9 L/m².day, while the reference distillation device gave a total yield of 4.65 L/m².day. So, the productivity was improved by around 156%.
