In this paper, analytical expression for characteristic equation of double slope solar still (DS) included with series connected N identical evacuated tubular collectors (N-ETC-DS) has been developed. The derivation is based on fundamental energy balance equations for various components of the proposed system. The analytical result of the proposed N-ETC-DS has been compared with results reported by earlier researchers for the same basin area under similar climatic condition. It has been concluded that daily energy efficiency is higher by 23.90%, 26.45%, and 42.65% for N-ETC-DS than N identical partially covered photovoltaic thermal (PVT) compound parabolic concentrator collectors (CPC) integrated double slope solar still, N identical partially covered PVT flat plate collectors (FPC) integrated double slope solar still, and conventional double slope solar still (CDS), respectively, at 0.14 m water depth under optimized condition. Moreover, daily yield, exergy, energy and exergy efficiency have been computed.

Abstract In this communication, characteristic equation for single-slope solar still augmented with N alike parabolic concentrator integrated evacuated tubular collectors has been developed which is also valid for N alike evacuated tubular collectors integrated single-slope solar distiller unit as well as passive single-slope solar distiller unit. The developed equation is similar in the form to Hottel-Whillier-Bliss equation which was developed for flat plate collector. The analytical equation development for the proposed system involves the writing of equations for its different components on the ground of equating net energy input to net energy output. The results obtained for the proposed system have been compared with the results of N alike evacuated tubular collectors integrated single-slope solar distiller unit and passive single-slope solar distiller unit. It has been concluded that the mean value of instantaneous efficiency for N alike parabolic concentrator integrated evacuated tubular collectors is higher by 42.86% and 50.82%; daily generation of freshwater is higher by 49.73% and 74.34%; and daily exergy is higher by 78.71% and 93.35% than the corresponding values for N alike evacuated tubular collector integrated single-slope solar distiller unit and passive single-slope solar distiller unit for the same basin area in that order.
