Abstract

The present paper deals with the thermal performance of solar desalination system. The mean objective of this work is to enhance the productivity of fresh water by integrating fins in basin liner and using Cu 2 O nanoparticles in the base fluid, based on the experimental data (solar radiation and ambient temperature) (lat 34°00′47″ N, Rabat). A finite element based 3D mathematical model has been developed using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2a.the numerical results showed that the daily productivity increase by20% for the finned basin liner with nanofluid (Brackish water/Cu 2 O) and by 12.6% for the finned basin liner with base fluid compared to the conventional solar still.
