| Abstract | This research is an experimental study of desalination of a solar still with sunray-reflecting sheets, which developed from a basin-shaped solar still. The solar still with sunray-reflecting sheets is 600 mm x 600 mm. in size covered with a 3 mm. transparent glass with inclining 15๐ of angle. To enhance the sunray absorption around the basin, the solar still was designed with an installation of sunray-reflecting mirrors with the inclining angle of 30๐ in 4 sides. This was to reflect sunray on the absorbing area at noon as much as possible. The sunray was also reflected on the glass covering the solar still to increase the temperature exploiting the effect of a greenhouse effect. To transmit heat to diluents or brine, the square wave zinc sheets painted with black matt paint were placed around the basin with an increased area from 0.36 m2 with the flat sheets to be 0.474 m2 or increased heat transfer area 30% with square wave sheets. In this work, two solar still were designed, constructed and performance tested for a subsequent comparison of similar variables collected during the same duration of 09:00 am |
