Abstract

This chapter presents advances related to applications of nanofluids in various types of solar stills. Works reviewed include theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies related the use of nanofluids in single-slope and double-slope solar stills integrated with a condenser, hybrids, and other limited types of solar stills. To make the chapter more useful to readers, the authors also give a panoramic view of water distillation and solar still types and distillation techniques. The productivity of solar stills can be increased by mixing nanoparticles with water inside the still.
