Experimental Investigation on a Thermal Model for a Basin Solar Still with an External Reflector

In this study, a thermal model for estimating the efficiency of a basin solar still with an external reflector was introduced using the energy balance equations of different parts of the solar still. Then, in order to verify the precision and accuracy of this model, a basin solar still with an exter...
