Nocturnal distillation in basin-type solar stills

Abstract: Nocturnal distillation, which dominates the output of deep basin stills, has been studied experimentally. From observations of continuous temperature and distillate measurements, the important factors affecting night-time distillation are identified. A dimensionless analysis of these factors was carried out in an attempt to generalise the night-time behaviour of solar stills. The results indicate that the distillate output is uniquely determined by the stored thermal energy in the still at sunset.
