What is Experimental Comparative Study of the Performances of Single and Double Basin Solar-stills about?
Two solar-stills (single basin and double decker) were fully fabricated and tested at the Campus of the University of Bahrain. Both stills have the same basin area. The inner dimensions of each were 9050 cm (effective area is 0.45 m 2 ). For the double decker basin solar-still, the upper glass cover and the first basin were tilted at 12 with respect to the horizontal, while for the single-basin solar-still, the glass cover was tilted at 36 with respect to the horizontal. Several copper-constantan thermocouples were installed in both stills to measure the glass cover temperature, the chamber temperature, the water temperature and the ambient-air temperature. The hourly amount of extracted distilled water, the various temperatures and the insolation were monitored for a five-month period (February-June). Two types of measurements were performed; one with still-sides insulation and the other without. It was found that the monthly average amount of the total daily-distilled water production was highest in June for both types of stills. This is expected, since the insolation during this month is higher than that in any other month during the testing period. For the double-basin still,
