Performance analysis of a single slope basin type solar still has been carried out based on the experimental data recorded at Aligarh for some typical days. The radiative, convective and evaporative heat transfer coefficients between the water surface and the glass cover through the humid air are evaluated using standard correlations and those used by other authors. The experimental data include the temperatures of basin liner (absorber plate), water mass, humid air, glass cover surface and the ambient air.
