【 摘 要 】

This paper presents experimental analysis obtained using the single slope passive solar still. The experiments were conducted in Ahmedabad (23°03' N, 72°40' E) using a passive solar still with different water depths and basin materials. Salt was added to study the effect of salinity of water on solar distillation. An extra clear glass is used as cover plate as it transmits 91% light into solar still. Rubber plate and Styrofoam were used as insulating material. So, the productivity of solar still was determined by increasing the temperature of water in the basin and glass temperature.
