Abstract
The present study aims to improve the productivity of freshwater by a solar still using a solar dish concentrator. The effect of a solar dish concentrator on the productivity of solar still when coupled with it has been experimentally investigated. Also, the results are compared to a conventional solar still to evaluate the improvement in the freshwater productivity when using a solar dish concentrator. The effect of saline water depth in the basin is still investigated for both solar still coupled with solar dish concentrator and conventional solar still under the same ambient conditions. As well the effect of phase change material (PCM) addition into a solar still on the productivity of the solar still has been experimentally investigated. The present study held in the Faculty of Engineering-Tanta University, Egypt.
