Resumo

This study aimed at investigating the effect of wind for double slope solar desalination still. Two double slope solar stills were designed, constructed and experimentally tested their performance depending up on the wind. One experiment carried out with a wind speed of 4m/s and other 3m/s. The results show that the variation in wind affects the fresh water production. Double slope solar desalination still with wind speed 4m/s gives 17.8% higherproductivity compare to 3m/s
