Possibility of Improving the Performance of the Solar Still By Incorporating Fluidic Amplifier

Clean and safe drinking water is a basic human need and providing it for everybody would be the greatest achievement by 2025. Out of 6 billion people on earth not more than one in six lacks access to potable water. Also of the total water resources only 1% of fresh water is available for human consumption. According to the United Nations 20% of the world's population in 30 countries face water shortage and is expected to rise to 30% in 50 countries by 2025. It is to be noted that the amount of available water will remain same or may decrease in the coming years, irrespective of increase in the population. To solve this problem, the means and ways have to be explored to reduce, reuse and recycling of water we have. Recycling of water using Solar Still is one of the popular and economical methods. In this paper detail of a new design concept to improve the annual/daily yield and the efficiency of the solar still is presented.
