The document summarizes an experiment performed on a double slope solar still to analyze its energy and exergy efficiency. Key findings include:
- The daily energy efficiency was higher for the system with a south-facing glass cover (29%) compared to the north-facing cover. However, the exergy efficiency was higher for the north-facing cover system.
- Equations were developed to calculate the instantaneous and overall thermal efficiency, exergy input and output, and exergy destruction within the system.
- The average convective heat transfer coefficient was higher for the north-facing cover (1.85 W/m2K) than the south-facing cover (1.57 W/m2
