Heat transfer and fluid dynamic performances of a stepped solar still: CFD simulation and experimental validation

Abstract In this work, a novel transient CFD modeling procedure for a stepped basin solar still (SBSS) was developed, with no requirement to specify the glass cover and basin water temperatures as boundary conditions. The solar irradiation absorption and heat transfer by radiatio...

Study of Cu3SbS4/Sb2S3 photothermal heterostructure coating for enhanced solar still desalination performance with durability analysis

Passive Solar Stills are an alternative method of producing fresh water in a decentralized manner. However, they suffer from being limited due to the low broadband solar absorptivity of typical basin materials. In this study we present the synthesis, characterization and photothe...
