| Abstract | ||||
| Both of a solar evaporator and a single slope solar distiller were designed and constructed to present the experimental and theoretical comparison between their thermal behaviors. The thermal comparison showed that, evaporation in both systems is the major heat loss and is larger than the other three modes together (radiation, convection and conduction). Also, the thermal results showed that, the higher heat loss by convection of the solar evaporator is due to the wind effect. The maximum thermal efficiency of the solar evaporator and the solar distiller was 72.3 and 64.6% respectively. | ||||
