Enhancing Productivity of Passive Solar Still Using Black Cylindrical Fins

There is limited access to clean drinking water that meets standard limits of water quality, especially in the rural areas. Approximately 1.2 billion people around the world lack access to clean drinking water and among these people there are 82% live in rural areas and 18% live in urban areas. Pass...

description There is limited access to clean drinking water that meets standard limits of water quality, especially in the rural areas. Approximately 1.2 billion people around the world lack access to clean drinking water and among these people there are 82% live in rural areas and 18% live in urban areas. Passive solar stills, structures relying on the sun’s power as one of the most promising alternatives is the key to solve this problem. The quality of water there can be improved through solar distillation using solar power that is available all around the world. It has the potential to become a low-tech alternative and also inexpensive way of producing drinking water. The conventional passive solar still is widely exploited but it has low productivity. The objective of this research was to overcome these limitations.
