Energy matrices and life cycle conversion analysis of N-identical hybrid double slope solar distiller unit using Al2O3 nanoparticle

In the current study, 25% incorporating PVT hybrid CPC collector double slope solar still is using Al2O3 nanoparticles underwent energy matrices analysis and life cycle conversion efficiency (LCCE). With the aid of an analytical program fed into MATLAB, the analysis is conducted on an annual basis based on the atmospheric conditions in New Delhi. The IMD in Pune, India, provided weather input data needed for the numerical computations. The average annual energy output will be calculated using energy and exergy and later on evaluated EPT, EPF, and LCCE. This will reveal that the average annual yield is 8.5%, the average energy payback time is 16.16%, the average energy payback factor is 13.91%, and the average life cycle cost conversion efficiency is 7.15% higher compared to the previous research. Therefore, it is obvious the proposed system is better based on the following parameters i.e. (i). annual yield, (ii). energy matrices such as EPT, EPF, and efficiency of life cycle cost (LCCE). The proposed hybrid is a self-sustainable system that can also meet the future requirements of potable water as well as electricity.
