  ABSTRACT

          Single basin solar still is a very simple solar device used for converting available
  brackish or water into fresh drinking water. This device can be fabricated easily with locally
  available materials. The maintenance is also cheap and no skilled labor is required. The
  device may be a suitable solution to solve drinking water problem but because of its low
  productivity it is not popularly used. Number of works are undertaken to improve the
  productivity of the still. The use of latent heat storage system using phase change material
  (PCMs) is an effective way of storing thermal energy and has the advantage of high energy
  density and the isothermal nature of the storage process. Double slope single basin solar still
  is experimented by adding a heat reservoir in the basin using Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate. It is
  a material which changes its phase during addition and removal of heat. It is observe that an
  increment of 33.5 % is observed in the collection of distillate when the still is used with PCM
  as Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate.

  1.INTRODUCTION

          Water is the primary source of life. Next to oxygen, fresh water is the most important
  substance for sustaining human life. Water shortage is a worldwide problem, where 40% of
  the world population is suffering from water scarcity [1]. Although Water is one of the most
  abundant resources on Earth, covering approximately three-quarters of the planet's surface.
  About 97% of the Earth's water is salt water in the oceans. 3% of all fresh water is in ground
  water, lakes and rivers, which supply most of that needed by humans and animals.

         However, rapid industrial-growth and the population explosion world-wide have
resulted in a large escalation of the demand for fresh water. Added to this is the problem of
pollution of rivers and lakes by industrial wastes and the large amounts of sewage discharged.
On a global scale, man-made pollution of natural sources of water is becoming the single
largest cause for fresh-water shortages. Besides the only inexhaustible sources of water are
the oceans. Their main drawback, however, is the high salinity of such water. It would be
attractive to tackle the water-shortage problem with desalination of this water, which may be
mixed with brackish water increase the amount of fresh water and reduce the concentration of
salts to around500 ppm [2].
         Solar distillation has been practiced for many generations. All desalination methods
require fossil fuel or electrical energy but solar distillation is one of many processes that can
be used to produce fresh water by using the heat of the sun directly in a simple equipment to
purify water. The equipment, commonly called a solar still [3,4]. Solar still is most simple
device to get potable/fresh distilled water from impure water. Among other available designs
of solar still, the Double Slope Solar Still is most popular. The construction and design of this
solar still is simple. The problem is poor productivity. A large number of attempts are made
to improve the productivity from solar still. Studies are performed to predict the performance
of solar still [5]. Effect of variation of parameters on the total output is also studied by
various researchers [6].They have analyzed the effect of water depth on the performance of
DSS. Due to intermittent nature of solar energy, distillate production is not continuous and
night time production is almost nil. By using energy storage mediums, distillate may be
produced during non-Sunshine hours. These energy storage systems may store heat energy in
two ways (i) Sensible Heat (ii) Latent Heat. Thermal energy can be stored as a change in
internal energy of a material as sensible heat, latent heat or combination of these two. In
sensible heat storage (SHS), thermal energy is stored by raising the temperature of a solid or
liquid. SHS utilizes the heat capacity and the change in temperature of the material during the
process of charging and discharging. The amount of heat stored depends on the specific heat
of the medium, the temperature change and the amount of storage material [7].

Due to the compactness of PCMs the latent heat is much higher than the sensible heat. These
materials are still a point of interest for researchers. Lorsch et. al. [8], Lane et. al. [9] and

Humphries and Griggs [10] have suggested a wide range of PCMs that can be selected as a
storage media. Latent Heat storage systems are having advantage of their isothermal nature of
storing heat energy. Kuznik et. al [11] has given a good explanation of how PCM stores and
releases latent heat. The external heat supplied to a PCM is spent in breaking the internal
bonds of lattice and thereby it absorbs a huge amount of latent heat at phase temperature.
Abhat et.al.[12] has given a detailed classification of PCMs along with their properties.
Dinser and Rosen [13] have also exercised the same. A large number of phase change
materials (organic, inorganic and eutectic) are available in any required temperature range.
El-Sebaii et al [14] and Shukla et al [15] have used phase change material as a energy storage
medium to study the performance of a single slope solar still. In the present study,
performance of a double slope solar still with Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate as PCM has been
investigated in outdoor conditions in the month of October. Thermophysical properties of
Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate are given. Melting temperature 36.10C specific heat (solid) 1.34
kJ/kg0C, specific heat (liquid) 2.26kJ/kg0C, Latent Heat of fusion 147.0 kJ/kg, Thermal
conductivity 0.464W/mK at 39.90C.

2. EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP AND PROCEDURE

2.1 Set-up

          Figure 1 shows the photograph of two Double Slope Solar Still of same size and
shape. One DSS is without PCM and another DSS is having PCM in the basin. The DSS
consist of a passive solar distillation unit with a glazing glass cover inclined at 260 having an
area of 0.048m x 0.096 m. The tilted glass covers are of 3 mm thickness, Transmit solar
energy and work as an insulator of heat. It works as a condensing surface for the vapor
generated in the basin. Still basin, made up of Galvanized Iron, has an effective area of 0.72
m2. The basin of the distiller was blackened to increase the absorptive of the basin liner. A
distillate channel was provided at each end of the basin for the collection of distillate output,
a hole was drilled in each of the channels and plastic pipes were fixed through them with an
adhesive (Araldite). An inlet pipe and outlet pipe was provided at the top of the side wall of
the still and at the bottom of the basin tray for feeding saline water into the basin and draining
water from still for cleaning purpose, respectively. All arrangements are made to make the
still air tight. Water gets evaporated and condensed on the inner surface of glass cover. It runs
down the lower edge of the glass cover. The distillate was collected in a bottle and then
measured by a graduated cylinder. The distillate is collected from two sides of the still. Phase
Change Material is filled in the tubes and placed in the basin of the still. Tubes are made of
aluminum to offer little resistance to the heat transfer between water and PCM. Tubes are of
dia 10 mm and length as that of the basin inner side. Thermocouples were attached in
different locations of the still to record the temperatures of inside glass cover, water
temperature in the basin and ambient temperature. All experimental data are used to obtain
the internal heat and mass transfer coefficient for double slope solar still. The effect of use of
phase change material is also studied by comparative analysis.

2.2 Procedure

       The experiments were conducted in the campus of Sam Higginbottom Institute of
Agriculture, Technology and Sciences- Deemed University, Allahabad, India. All
experiments were started at 08:30 AM at local time and lasted for 08.30 hours. Water, glass,
water vapor and PCM temperatures were recorded with the help of calibrated Copper –
Constantan thermocouples having a least count of 10C. The ambient temperature is measured
by a calibrated mercury (ZEAL) thermometer having a least count 10C. The distillate output
was recorded with the help of a measuring cylinder of least count 1 ml. The solar intensity
was measured with the help of calibrated solarimeter of a least count of 2 mW/cm2. The
hourly variation of all above mentioned parameters were used to evaluate average values of
each for further numerical computation.

3.PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY OF THE SOLAR STILL

        Energy balance equations are written for the different components of a double slope
solar still without PCM in the basin[5], [6] and with PCM in the basin [14].

The hourly and daily productivity of solar still is

Mewh = hewh (Tw-Tgin)/L                                                        (5)

Mewd = ∑24 hrsmewh                                                             (6)

The instantaneous efficiency of the solar still is:

ηi = [ hewh (Tw-Tgin)/I (t)]x 100%                                             (7)

ηd = [Mewd hew/(Ap∑I)(∆t)]x 100%                                               (8)

Variation of solar intensity falling on the east and west side glass covers of the double slope
solar still for a particular day (17-10-12) is shown in fig.2. It is observed that the solar
intensity falling through east side glass cover is higher till 01:30 hrs. Maximum value is
observed around11:00 hrs on east glass cover.

           Fig.3 Variation of East glass covers temperatures of DSS with PCM and without PCM

Variation of east glass cover temperatures of DSS with PCM and without PCM is shown in
fig 3. It is observed that the DSS with PCM tubes will have higher glass cover temperature in
comparison to that of without PCM. This difference is higher in afternoon session. This is
due to thermal inertial effect produced by PCM tubes. This is also true for the west side glass
cover. A slight rise in temperature of the west side glass cover with PCM is shown in fig.4.
This little difference is due to low solar intensity on west side glass cover.

                               Fig.5.Variation of total distillate output from DSS with PCM and without PCM

Hourly distillate output is measured in the daytime only from 08:30 AM till 5:00 PM. Last
reading shows total distillate collected during 5:00 PM to 8:00 AM. From fig. 5 it is clear that
output will increase due to use of PCM as heat reservoir. Total gain of 33.5% is observed in
output. Where daytime gain is 34.7% and nocturnal gain is of 31.7%.

5. CONCLUSION

       This study explores the possibility of using latent heat energy storage mediums in
conventional solar still to ensure the continuous production of fresh water even after sunset.
Result shows that productivity increases by 30 to 35% with Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate as
PCM. This can be further improved by a PCM with high latent heat of fusion and increasing
the mass of the PCM in the basin.

This device can be fabricated easily with locally available materials. The maintenance is also cheap and no skilled labor is required. The device may be a suitable solution to solve drinking water problem but because of its low productivity it is not popularly used. Number of works are undertaken to improve the productivity of the still. The use of latent heat storage system using phase change material (PCMs) is an effective way of storing thermal energy and has the advantage of high energy density and the isothermal nature of the storage process. Double slope single basin solar still is experimented by adding a heat reservoir in the basin using Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate. It is a material which changes its phase during addition and removal of heat. It is observe that an increment of 33.5 % is observed in the collection of distillate when the still is used with PCM as Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate.

Water shortage is a worldwide problem, where 40% of the world population is suffering from water scarcity [1]. Although Water is one of the most abundant resources on Earth, covering approximately three-quarters of the planet's surface. About 97% of the Earth's water is salt water in the oceans. 3% of all fresh water is in ground water, lakes and rivers, which supply most of that needed by humans and animals. 22

Added to this is the problem of pollution of rivers and lakes by industrial wastes and the large amounts of sewage discharged. On a global scale, man-made pollution of natural sources of water is becoming the single largest cause for fresh-water shortages. Besides the only inexhaustible sources of water are the oceans. Their main drawback, however, is the high salinity of such water. It would be attractive to tackle the water-shortage problem with desalination of this water, which may be mixed with brackish water increase the amount of fresh water and reduce the concentration of salts to around500 ppm [2]. Solar distillation has been practiced for many generations. All desalination methods require fossil fuel or electrical energy but solar distillation is one of many processes that can be used to produce fresh water by using the heat of the sun directly in a simple equipment to purify water. The equipment, commonly called a solar still [3,4]. Solar still is most simple device to get potable/fresh distilled water from impure water. Among other available designs of solar still, the Double Slope Solar Still is most popular. The construction and design of this solar still is simple. The problem is poor productivity. A large number of attempts are made to improve the productivity from solar still. Studies are performed to predict the performance of solar still [5]. Effect of variation of parameters on the total output is also studied by various researchers [6].They have analyzed the effect of water depth on the performance of DSS. Due to intermittent nature of solar energy, distillate production is not continuous and night time production is almost nil. By using energy storage mediums, distillate may be produced during non-Sunshine hours. These energy storage systems may store heat energy in two ways (i) Sensible Heat (ii) Latent Heat. Thermal energy can be stored as a change in internal energy of a material as sensible heat, latent heat or combination of these two. In sensible heat storage (SHS), thermal energy is stored by raising the temperature of a solid or liquid. SHS utilizes the heat capacity and the change in temperature of the material during the process of charging and discharging. The amount of heat stored depends on the specific heat of the medium, the temperature change and the amount of storage material [7]. ்௙ Q=‫்׬‬௜ ݉‫ܶ݀݌ܥ‬ (1) =݉‫݌ܥ‬ሺ݂ܶ െ ܶ݅ሻ (2) LHS is based on the heat absorption or release when a storage material undergoes a phase Change from solid to liquid or liquid to gas or vice versa.

Latent Heat storage systems are having advantage of their isothermal nature of storing heat energy. Kuznik et. al [11] has given a good explanation of how PCM stores and releases latent heat. The external heat supplied to a PCM is spent in breaking the internal bonds of lattice and thereby it absorbs a huge amount of latent heat at phase temperature. Abhat et.al.[12] has given a detailed classification of PCMs along with their properties. Dinser and Rosen [13] have also exercised the same. A large number of phase change materials (organic, inorganic and eutectic) are available in any required temperature range. El-Sebaii et al [14] and Shukla et al [15] have used phase change material as a energy storage medium to study the performance of a single slope solar still. In the present study, performance of a double slope solar still with Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate as PCM has been investigated in outdoor conditions in the month of October. Thermophysical properties of Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate are given. Melting temperature 36.10C specific heat (solid) 1.34 kJ/kg0C, specific heat (liquid) 2.26kJ/kg0C, Latent Heat of fusion 147.0 kJ/kg, Thermal conductivity 0.464W/mK at 39.90C. 2. EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP AND PROCEDURE 2.1 Set-up Figure 1 shows the photograph of two Double Slope Solar Still of same size and shape. One DSS is without PCM and another DSS is having PCM in the basin. The DSS consist of a passive solar distillation unit with a glazing glass cover inclined at 260 having an area of 0.048m x 0.096 m. The tilted glass covers are of 3 mm thickness, Transmit solar energy and work as an insulator of heat. It works as a condensing surface for the vapor generated in the basin. Still basin, made up of Galvanized Iron, has an effective area of 0.72 m2. The basin of the distiller was blackened to increase the absorptive of the basin liner. A distillate channel was provided at each end of the basin for the collection of distillate output, a hole was drilled in each of the channels and plastic pipes were fixed through them with an adhesive (Araldite). An inlet pipe and outlet pipe was provided at the top of the side wall of the still and at the bottom of the basin tray for feeding saline water into the basin and draining water from still for cleaning purpose, respectively. All arrangements are made to make the still air tight. Water gets evaporated and condensed on the inner surface of glass cover. It runs down the lower edge of the glass cover. The distillate was collected in a bottle and then measured by a graduated cylinder. The distillate is collected from two sides of the still. Phase Change Material is filled in the tubes and placed in the basin of the still. Tubes are made of aluminum to offer little resistance to the heat transfer between water and PCM. Tubes are of dia 10 mm and length as that of the basin inner side. Thermocouples were attached in different locations of the still to record the temperatures of inside glass cover, water temperature in the basin and ambient temperature. All experimental data are used to obtain the internal heat and mass transfer coefficient for double slope solar still. The effect of use of phase change material is also studied by comparative analysis. 24

It is observed that the DSS with PCM tubes will have higher glass cover temperature in comparison to that of without PCM. This difference is higher in afternoon session. This is due to thermal inertial effect produced by PCM tubes. This is also true for the west side glass cover. A slight rise in temperature of the west side glass cover with PCM is shown in fig.4. This little difference is due to low solar intensity on west side glass cover. 70 Glass cover temp. West with PCM Glass cover temp.

Last reading shows total distillate collected during 5:00 PM to 8:00 AM. From fig. 5 it is clear that output will increase due to use of PCM as heat reservoir. Total gain of 33.5% is observed in output. Where daytime gain is 34.7% and nocturnal gain is of 31.7%. 5. CONCLUSION This study explores the possibility of using latent heat energy storage mediums in conventional solar still to ensure the continuous production of fresh water even after sunset. Result shows that productivity increases by 30 to 35% with Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate as PCM. This can be further improved by a PCM with high latent heat of fusion and increasing the mass of the PCM in the basin. REFERENCES [1]Abdullah S., Badranb O. & Abu-Khaderc M. M.
