DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PORTABLE SOLAR DISTILLATION SYSTEM AND DOMESTIC HOT WATER IN CO-GENERATION PROCESS

Abstract

Most of the distillation system works by consuming energy either by burning fossils fuels or electrical energy. In the case of portable solar distillation system no conventional form of energy is required except the solar energy. It works on the principle of simple evaporation and condensation process similar to the formation of clouds. It takes brackish or impure water as an input and gives pure distilled or drinkable water. Performance of this system provides the detailed information about the effect of variation of temperature, wind speed and solar irradiation on the overall performance of the system.
