ENHANCEMENT OF SOLAR STILL USING POROUS MEDIUM AND CONCENTRATING REFLECTOR. PART (I): MODEL FOR POROUS MEDIUM AND NUMERICAL SOLUTION
The aim of the study is to enhance the productivity of solar stills using an unsaturated porous medium initially saturated by salty water and using concentrating reflector. This paper concentrates on the mathematical model for the porous medium and itssolution using a finite volume approach. Previous studies dealt with wick medium with high water content and liquid saturation in the ... Read more
