Abstract
This paper explores in detail the working and design of the parabolic trough collector (PTC), solar still (SS) and flat plate collector (FPC) with or without the usage of Nano particles. All these three devices are connected one after another and stores solar energy from sun light. In this paper the results of productivity have been observed for each Component of system separately. They are also connected for re circulation. Water depth of saline water is kept at 40mm while these experiments occur in summer seasons or hot climates. The result of overall production rate is 0.365Lm-2h-1 when all devices are working together and no Nano particles have been added. Production rate is further increased with nano particles (e.g. 0.446Lm-2h-1with). Productivity increased with 20.99% using with FPC-PTC-SS.
