Parametric Factors Affecting the Performance Improvement of a Solar Still Coupled With a Flat Plate Collector
The present study discusses the effect of parametric factors on the performance improvement of the combined system consisting of the solar still and flat plate collector. In the present study a flat plate collector (FPC) for heating water was designed and fabricated. The FPC was combined with the solar still for evaluating its performance and efficiency improvement. A 12% increase in efficiency was obtained on combining the solar still with the FPC.
