Annual performance analysis of a single-basin passive solar still coupled with evacuated tubes: comprehensive study in climate conditions of Mahesana, Gujarat

A solar still is very simple device to convert available brackish or saline water into drinkable water by use of solar energy. But due to its lower distillate output, it is not used widely for industrial and domestic potable water application. In the present research paper, annual performance analys...
