The main bottleneck haunting the wide dissemination of solar still is its poor yield per unit area. This study aims to overcome the above bottleneck by augmenting the yield of SS by increasing the surface area available for condensation by incorporating an acrylic chamber filled with water beneath the top glass surface. The solar still incorporated with acrylic basin (ACSS) was operated in two different methodologies and its performance was ascertained and compared with the conventional passive solar still (CPSS).

This research article discusses properties such as density, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity of solar glycol with amine-functionalized graphene and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The hybrid nanofluid is prepared by dispersing the amine-functionalized graphene (AFG) and MWCNTs (50:50 in % by weight ratio) in pure solar glycol. The AFG and MWCNTs are dispersed in different volume concentrations of 0.
