Low-cost floating solar still for developing countries: Prototyping and heat-mass transfer analysis

Floating solar still is a suitable technology for remote or rural coastal area applications. The device should be made of low-cost materials available locally to provide more access to the broader community. However, the low-cost materials usually do not have the best physical properties, decreasing...
