Analysis of Performance Parameters of Active Solar Still

Abstract

Water is the need of every living entity on earth.The rapid growth of population and technology is leaving very less space for the trees and the greenery which in turn is affecting the rain cycles and thus narrowing the lifeline rivers of our cities and villages. So we are moving toward the groundwater which is also reducing in level with every passing day. Researchers and scientists are coming with new ideas of rainwater harvesting and many more, but we can also reutilize the water by making it clean with the help of solar energy. Solar stills are the devices used for distilling the impure and salinated water in potable one. This technology has been used for very first time around 400 years in BC by Aristotle. With years passing by, the technology of still has got advanced. Now, the more efficient active hybrid still is being used and analyzed for further possibility of the efficiency enhancement.
