Abstract
In this article, an experimental study of a modified stepped solar still with internal and external reflectors and an external condenser is presented. A suction fan is connected with the still to withdraw water vapor. A comparison between the modified stepped solar still and the conventional solar still is conducted. It is found that the productivity of the stepped still with a condenser and with both reflectors and a condenser are about 66% and 165% higher than that of the conventional still, respectively. Finally, the cost of 1 L of distillate for the modified stepped solar still and conventional solar still is estimated.
