THE EFFECT OF PASSIVE SINGLE SLOPE WICK TILTED TYPE SOLAR STILL IN PROMOTING PUBLIC HEALTH, THROUGH PHYSICS TECHNIQUES, IN ENERGY PHYSICS
Keywords:
distillation, wick tilted solar still, waterborne diseases, Safe drinking waterAbstract
Health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Access to safe drinking water is fundamental for health and happiness, a basic human right, and a component of effective policy for health protection. Safe drinking water presents no significant risk to health over a lifetime of consumption, including groups with different sensitivities. Those at greatest risk of waterborne disease are infants and young children, people who are debilitated or living under unsanitary conditions and the elderly. Thus, the passive single slope wick-tilted type solar still is able to separate the clean-water from the highly dissolved solid matter and many other organisms. Hence, distillation process is one of the technology which is affordable, less cost effective and environmentally friendly, all of these will be achieve with the help of solar energy.
