Abstract
Performance analysis of a double basin solar still coupled to a heat e xchanger is presented. An overall system efficiency has been derived w hich incorporates both direct solar gain to the still and the heat gai n via heat exchanger. It is observed that the efficiency of the propos ed system is considerably less than that of a comparable double basin solar still without heat exchanger. The performance of the system was also found to be a strong function of the heat exchanger parameters.
