title = "Conceptual Design for Active Solar Still with an Adsorption Unit",
abstract = "Solar stills desalinate brackish/saline water cost-effectively and in an environmentally friendly manner, particularly in arid areas. In addition, distilled water is safe for drinking, providing a hygienic apparatus. The conceptual design procedures of the proposed systems are presented and discussed in detail. The new design aims to enhance the performance of passive pyramid solar still by incorporating an adsorption unit to increase nocturne production. This design aims to boost the solar still performance and raise its output yield. The design techniques consider customer requirements, which are surveyed, and product specifications are determined. The quality function deployment is used to provide design objectives. Three conceptual design alternatives are proposed and compared, with the best alternative selected using the decision matrix.",
