“…Due to its enormous popularity, researchers have been endeavoring to develop an ideal system with a similar underlying mechanism and minor modifications by implementing design modifications or using various methods for economic optimization [33], such as thermoelectric methods [34]; mirrors [35]; heat pipes [36]; finned plates [37]; surface coatings [38]; single and double slopes [39][40][41]; single, multiple, and stepped basins [42][43][44][45][46]; and pyramid and spherical methods [47,48]. Jeevadason and Padmini [49] examined the effects of using a novel glass cover design and found that it resulted in a 51.5% increase in water productivity.…”

Water scarcity is a global concern and poses significant problems to countries with arid and semi-arid climates, like Iran. Considering financial difficulties, a lack of knowledge about high-tech alternatives, low incomes, a lack of access to high-tech tools, and low maintenance capabilities in developing countries, solar still desalination is a decent technology for providing proper water, especially for rural areas. However, the low water-production rate using this method dictates a very vast area requirement for solar still farms in order to provide significant amounts of water. In this research, we proposed a mirror-enhanced solar still and mathematically compared its water-production rate to that of conventional ones. In comparison to conventional solar stills, our proposed reflector-enhanced solar still benefits from several improvements, including lower glass temperatures, increased water basing temperatures, and receiving much more solar irradiation. Hence, the proposed system can increase water production from 7.5 L/day to 24 L/day. The results showed that the proposed method is highly effective and could be used in field-scale projects in arid and semi-arid climates.

“…Utilizing the tracked parabolic collector increased the daily yield from 4.31 to 10.93 kg/m 2 . There were also some studies on the testing of various geometrical modifications in solar stills [26,27]. Moustafa et al [28] analyzed a tubular solar distiller modified with an electric heater powered by a solar panel.…”

Solar desalination systems are effective and sustainable applications that are utilized to obtain potable water from saline or contaminated water. In this research, three solar desalination systems, including a conventional system, a phase change material (PCM)-based thermal energy storage unit (TESU), and a natural dolomite powder integrated PCM-based TESU, were structured and experimentally investigated. The developed solar desalination systems were analyzed simultaneously and the findings were discussed in detail. According to the empirically obtained outcomes, utilizing PCM-based TESUs and dolomite-powder-embedded PCM-based TESUs increased daily cumulative productivity by 10.15% and 17.70%, respectively, in comparison to the conventional distiller. Employing dolomite powder increased the energy and exergy efficiencies of the conventional distiller from 15.91% to 18.28% and from 1.26% to 1.78%, respectively. Moreover, environmental metrics such as global warming potential and the sustainability index of the developed solar desalination systems were analyzed within the scope of this work.
