For the present study, experiments have been conducted for 24 hours during September- February months for different water depths in the basin (.1,.2 and.3 m) of double slope as well as single slope solar still. The objective of the present paper is to study the effect of different water depths in a solar still of double slope on the internal heat and mass transfer coefficients. It is inferred that the convective heat transfer coefficient between water and inner condensing cover depends significantly on the water depth in the basin. It is also observed that more yields are obtained during the off shine hours as compared to daytime for higher water depths in solar still due to storage effect. The temperature dependent physical properties of enclosed vapour were considered. Observations (temperature and yield) obtained from experimentation have been used to determining the values of coefficient C and n by using linear regression analysis and, consequently, the convective as well as evaporative heat transfer coefficient. Keywords: Distillation; Heat and mass transfer coefficients, Solar still INTRODUCTION The process of solar distillation is used to distill brackish/saline water by using solar energy. The systems involved in solar distillation operate under two modes: passive and active. Tiwari et al. [1] reviewed the present status of research work on both passive and active solar distillation systems. Most of the work done on solar stills has used the expressions for internal heat transfer coefficients as developed by Dunkle [4] under simulated conditions. However, these expressions having some limitations and are independent of the average distance between the condensing and evaporating surfaces. Kumar and Tiwari [7] have recently developed a model, based on regression analysis, to determine the values of C and n using the experimental data obtained from the stills. This method does not impose any limitations on the determination of expressions for internal heat transfer coefficients. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the effect of different water depths in a solar still on the heat and mass transfer coefficients for the passive mode. The heat transfer is within the distillation unit, which is regarded as the internal heat transfer. It is due to three modes of heat transfer, radiation, convection and evaporation. Convective heat transfer occurs among the different layers of water inside the distillation unit. From the water surface to the condensing cover, heat transfer is accompanied by transport of water vapor formed above the water surface through an air-vapor mixture. Both convective and evaporative heat transfers occur simultaneously and are independent of radiative heat transfer. The air-vapor mixture is convected from

IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM The double slope solar distillation unit were designed and manufactured to use in study. Experiments were carried out to study the effect of different water depths in the solar still on the internal heat and mass transfer coefficients. Solar still is placed in east-west direction and the inclination of the condensing cover is 15 o. To study the heat transfer coefficients, experiments was conducted for 24 hours during the September-February months for different water depths in the basin (.1,.2 and.3 m). THERMAL MODEL Heat transfer occurs across humid air in the distillation unit by free convection, which is caused by the effect of buoyancy, due to the density variation in the humid fluid. This occurs due to the temperature gradient in the fluid. The rate of heat transfer is from the water surface to the glass cover is in the upward direction. The general equation of convective heat transfer is, cw s cw Q h A T T h A T (1) Where, h cw is the convective transfer coefficient and is a function of the following parameters: Operating temperature range Geometry of the condensing cover Physical properties of the fluid at the operating temperature Flow characteristics of the liquid. The following relation gives the nondimensional Nusselt number related by the convective heat transfer coefficient: hcw Lv Nu C Gr Pr n K or, h cw v Kv C Gr Pr n (2) L v Where, Gr and Pr are the Grashof and Prandtl numbers, respectively. The unknown C and n are constants given in Eq. (2) to be determined by regression analysis using experimental data. The Gr and Pr are given by the following expressions: 3 2 glv T Gr 2 C Pr K v p

This equation is valid only for normal operating temperature 5 C in a solar still and equivalent temperature difference of T = 17 C. 2. This is independent of cavity volume, i.e., the average spacing between the condensing and evaporating surfaces, due to n = 1/3.

EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP, PROCEDURE AND OBSERVATIONS Solar still is an air tight basin, constructed of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) with a top cover of transparent material like glass, glass is considered to be best for most long-term applications. The inner surface of the base known as basin liner is blackened to efficiently absorb the solar radiation incident on it. There is a provision to collect distillate output at lower ends of top cover. The brackish or saline water is fed inside the basin for purification using solar energy. Fig.1. Cross sectional view of a symmetrical double slope solar still Fig.2.

Initially the thermocouples are prepared by soldering the junctions of two dissimilar metals and Zeal thermometer is used for the calibration of thermocouples, which gives accurate temperature readings. The ambient temperature and the distillate output were recorded with the help of a calibrated mercury thermometer having a least count of 1 C and with a measuring cylinder of a least count 1 ml. The solar intensity was measured on both side of the glass cover (east and west side) and also on the horizontal surface with the help of a calibrated solarimeter, having, least count of 2mW/cm 2. The hourly variation of solar intensity, water, glass and ambient temperatures and hourly output for different depths of water in solar still were used to evaluate average values of each parameter for numerical computation. The values of each measured parameter are given in Tables 3 a-c.

CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the present studies, the following conclusions were made: The present study indicates the importance of a variation of the convective heat transfer coefficient with water depth in the basin. This will be useful to design efficient solar distillation systems. The values obtained for the convective and evaporative heat transfer coefficients by Dunkle s [4] relation do not agree with the values obtained by the present experiment. This is definitely because of the violation of Dunkle's [4] assumptions encountered by the real experiments. The present model gives more accurate and realistic values. On the basis of results we can say that the convective heat transfer coefficient between water and inner condensing cover depends significantly on the water depth in the basin. It is also observed that more yields are obtained during the off shine hours as compared to daytime for higher water depths in solar still due to storage effect.
