Desalination can be defined as any process that removes salts from water. Desalination processes may be used in municipal, industrial, or commercial applications. With improvements in technology, desalination processes are becoming cost-competitive with other methods of producing usable water for our growing needs. The conventional distillation process, though simple and effective, uses conventional sources of energy such as fossil fuels. Seeing the rapid depletion of conventional sources of energy and its impact on climate change over the decades, in this project, we have decided to use non – conventional SOLAR ENERGY source for the distillation of water. The project involves designing and analysis of solar stills which can produce enough distilled water. The analysis was done using meteorological data of Bengaluru i.e., temperature on hourly basis were our inputs. Theoretical analysis was done using heat equations of conduction, convection & radiation. Ansys analysis includes thermal analysis of both top and bottom surface of the solar still this was done to address the heat loss due to reflection, convection, and conduction. The Ansys results shows the temperature of the solar stills and from which we can infer that there is a change in the same for different solar stills.
