In this technical note, an optimization of the orientation for higher
yield of a solar still has been carried out in terms of the glass cove
r inclination. The effect of water depth on the hourly instantaneous c
umulative and overall thermal efficiency and internal heat transfer co
efficient has also been studied. Numerical computations have been made
for Delhi climatic conditions. It is inferred that east-west orientat
ion of a double slope solar still gives the maximum yield for a glass
cover inclination at around 55 degrees.
