Abstract
Abstract
Water is the most important source for human being and other living creatures. The naturul sources of water started to decline especially in the recent years. Researchers have focused on the productivity of drinking water as one of the main live requirements. Conversion of salt water into drinking water using solar distillation technology can be considered as the most viable methods in the dry climate regions. The productivity of solar stills effected by various parameters such as design, operational and environmental parameters. The current study aims to study the effect of different environmental conditions on improvement rate of productivity for suggested solar still. The tests were conducted at the Ural Federal University / Russia, during four months from June to September 2019 under different environmental conditions. The study results showed that there is a noticeable impact on the improvement rate in the productivity of the enhanced solar still, which depends mainly on solar radiation and ambient temperature. The rate of improvement fluctuated during the four months; the highest rete of enhancement obtained by 200% in September.
