Distillate output of solar still is low because its difference between water and glass covertemperature is low. In solar still temperature difference of water and glass cover increased, automaticallydistillate output is increased. Thermal conductivity is heat conducted per unit time per unit cross sectional areaperpendicular to direction of heat conduction. It is also a good parameter for increasing temperature.Temperature of water is increase by inserting various screens and glass cover temperature is decreased bysprinkler attachment at top of the solar still. Aluminum screens and GI screens are easily available in marketand it is also very cheap hence it can be used for increasing distillate output.
