Hi, Does anyone know of a way I can model the output of a solar still with a specific tilt angle and location (Africa) to give me my desired output value? I've been looking at lots of research papers but the maths is far too confusing for me to even begin to try work it out and I'm hoping there...

Yes that is how it might look. You want to have a big temperature difference from the water to the glass will increase condensation so output will be increased.

I need to increase the surface area of the glass which will be used in a solar still with the intention of keeping the glass as cool as possible. My first thought was bubble wrap because it's transparent and I thought it would not interfere with the light but then I remembered it is a good...

Thanks Tom.G that's a good link for me to add and use. I have seen similar information in other scientific papers I have been looking at. In regards to Phylosopher, I have seen the phase diagrams in my class but I'm not sure how relevant that is for me so I'm guessing I need to brush up on...

Hi, I am doing my dissertation for Mechanical Engineering on Solar Stills and my mentor has suggested it would be a good idea to research the physics of light/infrared absorption, transmission, water evaporation and condensation. I am wondering if anyone has good book recommendations for me to...
