Experimental study of a passive solar water desalination system

One of the ways for transforming unclean water is by using the solar distillation technique. Evaporation of water and condensation of water vapour are the two key processes in this water filtration process. In a solar distillation system, the heat energy from the sunlight is used to raise the temper...
