AI Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate how adding a black-painted copper plate and phosphate pellets affects the efficiency of conventional solar stills (CSS).
- The modified solar still (MSS) was tested against the CSS under similar conditions, showing that using the copper plate with and without phosphate pellets significantly increased evaporation rates and daily water production.
- Experimental results indicated that the MSS with the copper plate and pellets improved productivity by 29.53% compared to CSS, with effectiveness rates of 30.23% (CSS), 35.3% (MSS-CP), and 41.44% (MSS-CP and PP).
Article Abstract
In this work, a new attempt was made to study the behavior of the conventional solar still (CSS) by adding a black-painted copper plate and phosphate pellets. Therefore, the performance of the three solar stills has been studied and compared. The first is the CSS, and the second is the modified solar still (MSS). The MSS performance was tested using black-coated copper plate (measuring 49 × 49 cm and 0.2 cm thick) with and without phosphate pellets and compared to the CSS in the similar climatic conditions. The results showed that the combination of black coated copper plate and the inclusion of phosphate pellets improved the evaporation rate and daily productivity. During the experiments, yields using black coated copper plate without and with phosphate pellets were 14.96% and 29.53% greater than the CSS. The effectiveness of the CSS, MSS with copper metal plate (MSS-CP), and MSS with copper metal plate with phosphate pellets (MSS-CP and PP) are around 30.23, 35.3, and 41.44%, respectively.
