Abstract
This article conveys the effect of rate of flow by water (mf) over an inclined PV panel basin solar still (IPVPBSS) for improving the distilled water production. In this study, the PV panel is used as a basin of Inclined Solar Still (ISS) and the consequence of flow rate by sea water on yield and power production is experimentally analyzed. Three different flow rates were analyzed for the present study (4.68, 7.56 and 10.08 kg/hr). Results showed that on increasing the rate of flow the distillate output produced from the IPVPBSS decreases, whereas, the power production increases as the panel temperature is an influential parameter. Similarly, the daily thermal efficiency of the IPVPBSS decreases with increasing the flow rate. The daily yield from the IPVPBSS decreases by 27 and 57% for the flow rates of 7.56 and 10.08 kg/hr respectively as compared to that of flow rate of 4.56 kg/hr. Also, from the economic analysis the cost of distilled water and payback period of the IPVPBSS decreases with minimum flow rate of water. ,.
