Design of A Conical Solar Still (CSS) And Evaluation of Its Performance in Basra-Iraq

Ahmed J. Mohammed

Abstract

In this research conical Solar Still (CSS) (with a circular basin) has been constructed and their performance has been evaluated under different atmospheric circumstances of Basra city (Iraq) (Latitude 30° 33′ 56.55″N, Longitude 47° 45′ 5.86″E). The conical solar still consists of a basin area of (0.0314 m²). This small measurement has been adopted in the size (0.25 m) for the size of the conical glass cover and the difficulty of obtaining the larger measurement, this measurement of the conical cover is considered as the largest size for manufacturing obtained in Basra-Iraq. The maximum experimental efficiency of the experimental still varies from (58%) for the conical solar still.
