PERFORMANCE OF MASONIC SOLAR STILL WITH BOX TYPE INTERNAL CONDENSER IN SUMMER CLIMATE

Solar Desalination via Solar still is the best meth od of obtaining 2-3 liter of potable water in a typical summer day from brackish water. Solar still in its state of art is �Rain Machine� or �Hydrological Cycle in trapezoidal basin.� In analy sis of solar still,it has been proved and well accepted that,rate of condensation is strong funct ion of temperature difference between inner glass cover (condensing cover) and basin water temperatur e. In architecture and working of Masonic solar still,it is found that,temperature difference is not conducive for condensation in summer days and a t peak Sun shines hours. Literature review and opinio n of expertise suggest advent of internal condenser in solar still. Among different configura tions box type copper metal make internal condenser is fabricated and fixed at back wall of s till. Water is fed to box from overhead tank so as to get natural siphoning and cooling effect inside the still. https://www.ijiert.org/paper-details?paper_id=14075
