Good Agreement

In this paper, a new design of inclined solar still with steppe absorber plate, slope surfaces and baffles were proposed, fabricated, tested and modeled using ANSYS FLUENT software, in order to develop the simple and the cheapest type of desalination. The simulation has been carried out and validated with experimental data for climate conditions of Rabat-Morocco (34°47’N) obtained from our existing prototype. It has been found that the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data. It was also examined that the productivity of the cascade Solar Still was higher from 12:00 to 15:00 hrs. The results indicate that the new design ensures higher productivity.

An experimental study has been carried out to enhance a solar air heater’s performance by integrating artificial roughness through baffles on the absorber plate. In this paper, the thermal and energy matrices analysis of a Solar Air Heater (SAH) roughened with V up perforated baffles have been investigated. The effect of various mass flow rates on the SAH was analyzed with and without baffles. Experimental outputs like outlet air temperature, useful energy (heat) gain and thermal efficiency were evaluated to confirm the performance improvement. The baffled absorber plate SAH was found to give the maximum thermal efficiency and useful energy gain of 89.3% and 1321.37 W at a mass flow rate of 0.0346 kg/s, 13% and 12% higher than SAH without baffle. This result showed that the V up-shaped ribs in flow arrangement provide better thermal performance than smooth plate SAH for the parameter investigated. Energy matrices analysis and carbon dioxide mitigation of the SAH system were also analyzed.
