| 520 | __ | |aA significant amount of water available on the Earth is in saline form, and a very scarce quantity available is freshwater. In order to meet the requirement of freshwater, sustainable desalination techniques need to be explored for its low-cost generation. Solar desalination is a sustainable method using renewable energy which produces freshwater from brackish water by utilising solar energy. As freshwater generation capacity of conventional solar still is low hence energy storage materials (such as PCM) are embedded to store energy during the day duration, which can be utilised during off-sunshine hours (night hours). The present study analyses the impact of energy storage materials (PCM) on the freshwater productivity of solar still with PCM and solar still with PCM and pin fins. For the study, an experimental setup was designed and fabricated; and the results were compared with the conventional solar still under the atmospheric conditions of Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India (23o10and#8242; N 72o38and#8242; E) |
