Abstract
This study predicts distillate productions according to design variables by numerical analysis when the waste heat from a diesel generator is added to the solar-assisted still proposed in a previous study. Mathematical models were set up in reference to previous studies, and the amount of heat exchange from the waste heat recovery pipe was considered. To ensure the reliability of numerical analysis, the result was compared with that of a previous study and then, the distillate productions according to design variables were obtained by the analysis model. The results were found to generally be in agreement, and the increasing amount of distillate production of the still with the added waste heat was confirmed. In addition, the optimal value of the tilt angle of glass cover and the number of cells were determined by numerical analysis.
