Natural Flow Horizontal Plate Copper Collector: Increasing Freshwater Productivity from Seawater Desalination

Analysis for optimized prerequisites of modified solar stills

“…To explore the computational algorithms in this field, Srivastava et al [ 27 ] proposed methodological testimonial for the solar still system under the water boiling point temperature. Further, Siregar et al [ 28 ] experimented on natural circulation of water medium through flat plate collector (FPC) integrated copper tubes to increase potable water production of different samples of brackish water and found the appreciable results for natural medium loop into the defined channels. The overall observations reflects the major heat losses (i.e., convective, evaporative, and irradiative) occurred in FPCs; however, for the EATCs applications, it has minimal irradiative heat losses with approximately nil convective and evaporative heat losses.…”
