A new unit for solar water desalination and heating was designed and manufactured in Basra Governorate, and through the experience proved to be highly efficient and appropriate to the atmosphere of the province where the productivity (14.6 liter / m2). This productivity is the highest percentage obtained by the researchers in the governorate to dat...

The idea of basic research is a comparison between (6) solar collectors with different design (Box , Circle 1 , Circle 2 , Zigzag 1 , Zigzag 2 , H-section) and similar in the form in the outer materials and a cost but they differ in the engineering design by expose them to the same ambient environmental conditions for a period of (9) months in the...

The project included designs of six solar collectors in order to choose the best one for increasing the water temperature flowing through it the out come was being the best solar collector is No.4 Z1 of the six collectors. It is clear through the study that the highest temperature of the solar collector can be obtained when the collector was placed...

A vertical solar stills have been constructed under different atmospheric circumstances of Basra city(Iraq). An experimental investigation was carried out on two solar stills under the same conditions with one side evaporative. The still has consists from the basin total area of 0.125 m 2 , covers the basin still with a piece of black cotton cloth...

Solar energy utilization in five different shape of solar stills is considered. Also, four solar still with similar specification but different in inclination angle, and another four with similar specification but different in inner surface areas have been investigated in an attempt to optimize solar still productivity. It is found that the best so...
