Investigation of a new model combining solar tower and a spherical solar still for water distillation

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a hybrid system using solar tower and tubular solar energy for desalination. Total radiation (dqspher) was calculated using MATLAB algorithms, encoding a 3 × 4 matrix for temperature, pressure, and air saturation transfer within the glass globe. The results are supported by the latest data published in the literature. Between angle 0° and 35°, the rate of dqspher exceeded 689 546 Kw/m2 in 5 h. Desalinated water reached 4.2 l/m2 at a rate of 76.63%. The encouraging results promote the application of this technology for water desalination, ensuring efficiency, environmental friendliness and affordability.
