Abstract One of the common water desalination apparatuses in freshwater regimes is Single Slope Solar Still (SSSS). This paper numerically investigated the
heat transfer processes that took place inside the still. Also, implementing an optimization process to explore the best sustainable feed water preheating
tank design. Comsol Software package (v 5.4) was utilized to develop and validate the 3D Mathematical model. The investigation included comparing
four different tank designs namely are sphere, half-sphere, cone, and flat plate. In addition, the influence of altering the volume of the tank has been
considered. The study revealed that the More >
