Abstract: The performance of a single solar still is numerically studied by solving the energy balance equations, concerning Gabes region. Effects of the glass cover thickness and the saline water depth on water-to-inner glass cover temperature difference and on daily yield for June 21st are determined and graphically presented. It was found that optimum values of glass cover thickness and water depth giving highest productivity are 3 mm, and 1.5 cm, respectively.
