Abstract
This paper presents the theoretical analysis of solar still improved with baffle plates for producing fresh water. The analysis are carried out with different mass flow rates namely, mf = 0.001388, 0.002766, 0.0055 and 0.0069 kg/sec respectively and at an inlet water temperature (Tin) of 32ºC. The analysis revealed that production of fresh water is highest with minimum mass flow rate of mf = 0.001388 kg/sec. Also, introduction of baffle plates enables better absorption of the solar intensity which will in turn heat up the water to higher temperature. The accumulated yield of fresh water produced increased up to 74% with a mass flow rate of mf = 0.001388 kg/sec compared to 0.0069 kg/sec.
