Performance exploration of Aluminum truncated conic fins in single basin double slope solar still compared with traditional still. A dual incline single basin solar still is made of wooden box outside and Aluminum on the inside 1 × 0.5 × 0.2 m. Still with truncated conic fins of 50 mm height and 20 mm diameter. Experimentation was carried out under the same climatic conditions of Hyderabad (17.3850° N, 78.4867° E) by varying 3 depths of water (1 cm, 2 cm, and 3 cm). Truncated conic fins are compared with traditional still. Experimental results portray that the maximum amount of distillate output has been obtained for the minimum depth of water at 1 cm. Fins play a vital role at higher depths compared to conventional still. Variance in the output of finned stills compared to conventional still progressively increases as the depth of water increases. The optimum depth of evaporation is at 4 cm for both the fin geometries. The distillate output for truncated conic finned basin still has got 4.40, 26.73, and 29.06% higher than conventional still.
