The present study is based on the use of three groups of correlation, for evaluating mass transfer. Theoretical results are compared with those obtained experimentally for a Simple Solar Distiller (SSD) and a Simple Solar Distiller Hybrid with a Heat Pump (SSDHP) stills. Experimental results and those calculated by Lewis number correlation show good agreements. Results obtained by Dunkle, Kumar and Tiwari correlations are not satisfactory with the experimental ones. Theoretical results, as well as statistical analysis, are presented. The model with heat pump ( for two configurations (111) and (001) give more output compared with the model without heat pump ((000) and (110)). This results where agree for the use of the statistic results, the error it less with Lewis number as compared with the different correlation.}, keywords = {Hybrid Solar Still (SSDHP),Heat and Mass Transfer Model,Simple Solar Still (SSD)}, url = {https://www.jwent.net/article_26540.html}, eprint = {https://www.jwent.net/article_26540_a44298b9406ffda0529d738071a99470.pdf} }
