Why is it important?
Numerous human activities and a rapidly growing world population are increasing the demand for freshwater. Fresh water production relies heavily on the use of conventional fuels and is associated with environmental pollution, leading to the need to look for other alternatives such as clean energy (solar energy). There are many villages and rural areas in the world without access to clean water. Many desalination systems have been developed to address this shortcoming. This study describes strategies for increasing clean water solar energy productivity that are currently in commercial and experimental development stages. Solar stills are the most prudent method for delivering new water since they just sudden spike in demand for the energy of the sun, which is promptly accessible in nature. The focus is on technologies that can be used independently, especially those that can be integrated into solar thermal systems. The results show that the solar thermal distillation yield is inversely proportional to the basin water depth and is directly related to the wind speed in the absorbing region, the temperature of the glass covers and the incident solar radiation. Add to the technology used inside and outside the system to improve productivity
Perspectives
This article describes modern solar distillation replenishment methods with a focus on increasing productivity and efficiency. This review focuses on changes in factors such as wind speed, absorption range, glass cover temperature, incident solar radiation, minimum water depth, internal and external reflectors, nanoparticle use, phase change material use, glass cover tilt angle, and fins. Use configuration parameters, and magnetic fields. The research result is 1- As incident radiation increases, production rises, and vice versa. 2- The output of solar thermal distillation increases when the temperature of the cover glass decreases. 3- The relationship between production and wind speed is inverse. 4- We have found that increasing fin height also increases productivity and efficiency. However, the opposite was true as the fin thickness and volume increased. 5- In the winter, the cover should have a high slope, and in the summer, a low slope. To increase throughput, the tilt angle of the cover should be altered as the test site's latitude rises. 6-There is a direct inverse correlation between the rate of production and the growth in the absorption area. 7- According to the flow rate, the tank's water level increases. 8 - Use of phase change material improves performance of still sun images. 9- The inclusion of nanoparticles improves the distillation efficiency of solar distillers. 10- Improved system thermal performance with internal mirrors. 11- Looking at the research, we see a direct correlation between the use of magnetic flux and the performance of SSSSs.
