Abstract

The performance of a basin type solar still, with removable cover, was tested using organic dyes as liquid thermal converters contained in sealed glass tubes. The choice of the optimum mixture was based on a study of the influence of concentration of individual components on thermal performance of every mixture. A comparison, in terms of yield per day, was made of performance of this new still with a similar still, the basin of which had been painted black with ordinary black paint. The new still showed better output.
