Abstract

Enhancement in distillate output from the solar still is a main goal of many researchers all over the world.
In this present work paper discusses the experimental performance analysis of modified double slope single basin
solar still with fins. Here, two types of fins are used in solar still basin such as pin and square fins. Performance of
modified still is compared with conventional still. It is observed that productivity of modified still (pin fin) attain
maximum, when compared to modified (square fin) and conventional still. Hence, enhancement in distillate output
was achieved by use of pin fin absorber plate in solar still.
