摘要：Solar distillation method is an easy, small scale and cost effective technique for providing safe water. It requires an energy input as heat and the solar radiation can be source of energy. Solar still is a device which uses process of solar distillation. Here, a two phase, three dimensional model was made for evaporation as well as condensation process in solar still by using ANSYS CFX method to simulate the present model. Simulation results of solar still compared with actual experiment data of single basin solar still at climate conditions of Mehsana (23°12’ N, 72°30’). There is a good agreement with experimental results and simulation results of distillate output, water temperature and heat transfer coefficients. Overall study shows the ANSYS CFX is a powerful tool for diagnostic as well as analysis of solar still.
