ABSTRACT
On this earth, water is the most critical element which is responsible for sustaining life. The need for potable water is increasing exponentially in cultivation, population, and trade. It is quite necessary to balance the demand volume and supply of freshwater by emerging some techniques of water distillation. Solar distillation is the utmost auspicious and economical technology to avail freshwater by the utilisation of solar energy. Various surveys have been carried out in this field of clean energy resources. The current correspondence has attempted to identify the optimum depth of water suitable for maximum distillation performance and thermal efficiency. Evaluating the impact of various depths of the basin’s water on water production and thermal efficiency, outdoor experimentation was carried out. The distillate yield and the average thermal performance are recorded as 0.727, 0.628, 0.617, 0.634 l/ hr. and 45.11, 41.29, 36.67, and 39.02 percent respectively for all four water depths (3, 6, 9, 12cm). In addition, the experimental results obtained under optimum circumstances were in strong harmony with the forecasted reactions of the conceptual factor. Therefore, it seems to be known that the heat flow parameters are in the solar system are also primarily determined by the depth of the water. In this article, the payback period embodied energy analysis, CO2 emissions, and economic analysis of renewable energy systems have been discussed.
