ABSTRACT
Because of the enormous use of clean water and its restricted availability relative to the amount of water on the Earth’s surface, providing water fit for human consumption is one of the most pressing issues confronting the globe. The effect of adding a solar collector and phase change materials on distillation yield is examined in this study, and solar water desalination using solar distillation systems. Also, emphasize the system’s influence of shedding a magnetic field and boosting evaporation by affecting water surface tension.

Keywords: Magnetic field, Phase Change Material, Solar Desalination.

1. INTRODUCTION

Due to the recent energy crisis caused by the excessive use of fossil fuels, it is evident that there is a problem in obtaining clean water. Interest in renewable energy sources is increasing as they are alternative and environmentally safe sources. Due to the increasing need for water worldwide and the abundance of solar radiation, developing technologies harness solar energy to meet the human need for water [1]. The primary uses of solar energy discussed in this study are Solar water desalination. Given that traditional energy sources (oil, nuclear, coal, etc.) pose financial issues and harm human health and pollution, solar desalination is viable. Researchers have been urged to investigate the utilization of renewable energy sources (wind, solar energy, subsurface energy, and so on) since they do not affect the environment or human health. It is also notable for its rejuvenation. It’s completely free. The essential renewable energy source is solar energy since it is plentiful and can be established in nearly every part of the world. Solar energy has various uses in everyday life, including electricity generation, water desalination, and water heating, among others [2-5].
2. Solar Distillation Unit (SDU).
solar stills may be classified into two types: Active Solar radiation is the only heat source on which solar distillation systems depend. There are no additional components that use or create electricity. Added heat is supplied to the active distillation system by different geometries changes or complex designs. And there may also be the opportunity for additional parts that use or create power distribution beneficial to the system. Passive SDUs may be classified into two groups: traditional design and effective design. Traditional designs comprise simple stills with only reflective surfaces or condensers. Stepped basin, cylinder cover, concave, spherical, conical and triangular basin are all efficient designs and other types of still structures. These structures have a restricted yield
