  🌞 Performance Evaluation of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials in a Two-Stage Solar Still with Parabolic Dish Collector 💧 🌍🔬 Introduction Water scarcity is an escalating global challenge 🌎. With increasing demand for clean drinking water and dwindling freshwater resources, sustainable water purification methods have become imperative. Among various solutions, solar desalination stands out as a renewable and environmentally friendly approach to convert saline or brackish water into potable water using solar energy 🌞. One of the most promising innovations in solar desalination systems is the integration of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) , which store thermal energy and release it slowly, aiding the evaporation-condensation process in solar stills. When nano-enhanced with high-conductivity nanoparticles, these materials—called Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials (NEPCMs) —can significantly improve the thermal efficiency and productivity of desalination units ⚗️💡. In t...
