Description
Summary:Temperature distribution in the a single slope solar still for solar distillation technology is performed using numerical approach to study the phenomenon of natural convection. The governing equations of the problem are stated in a primitive variale, involve the use of radial basis function (RBF) method to solve the continuity, momentum, and energy equations. The meshless RBF method and is used here for discretization and solving momentum and energy equations. Effect of geometry for slope angles θ varied from 0 to 20° is studied. Comparison of the average Nusselt number at the bottom wall obtained by the present numerical method and the data available in the literature shows the suitable accuracy of the present study. Temperature distribution along the length of the geometry is provided.
