- Abstract
A recent study of the design of solar distillation with solar radiation concentration was carried out by an independent device. Transformer oil was used as a fluid to transfer heat to the distilled basin. The design and operational variables are essential, such as distiller dimensions, concentration ratio, pressure, and temperature. A mathematical model was proposed to simulate the system for 2 July 2018 from 10 am to 4 pm in the climatic conditions of the city of Kirkuk, Iraq. Fuzzy logic (FL) was used to select the affected parameters: water temperature (Tw), water pressure (Pw), glass temperature (Tg), and vapor pressure (Pg) which have a separated membership function that control the linguistic variables. The results showed that the best performance of the distiller is at Tw = 100°C, Pg = 10 000 Pa, Tg = 20°C, and Pw = 20 000 Pa, and concentration ratio of 30. This study used FL to analyze solar distiller performance and identify optimum temperature, pressure, and concentration ratio on the productivity of solar distiller.
