An effective solar assisted semi-cylindrical saline water desalination system with direct atomizer and energy storage materials for domestic use: an experimental investigation.

Solar still is the easiest method to purifying the saline water for domestic usage, but this method needs much improvement for better performance since it has lower productivity. In this paper, an experimental investigation is completed to analyse the semi cylindrical solar productivity still. The semi-cylindrical still is incorporated with direct atomizer and scrap used as an energy storage medium.

Experimental study on the thermal performance of a solar air heater integrated with multi-geometry arrangements over the absorber plate.

A solar air heater (SAH) is investigated experimentally by employing multi-geometry arrangements over the absorber plate. In the current work, the absorber plate is designed with rectangular ribs, slits, and cylinders. For the proposed system, this multi-geometry arrangement serves as an artificial roughness (baffles).
