Abstract

The mathematical model of a modified solar still that operates under vacuum condition and is equipped with an air-cooled condenser is developed. Simulation results for the behavior of such a system under the meteorological conditions of Cairo, Egypt, are presented. In addition, the proposed system is designed and constructed. The experimental validation of simulation results is carried out. Satisfactory matching between simulation results and experimental measurements is obtained. Performance investigation of the proposed system during a whole year is presented and conclusions are drawn.
