To quantify the influence of porous media in the evaporation of water the authors have conducted a series of experiments and a theoretical study. For practical reasons, in these experiments they used capillary blocks made of a bunch of glass capillary tubes. Blocks with the same diameter tubes were placed inside conventional solar still shallow basins filled with water. The temperatures of the blocks, of the water and the still glazing were registered. The solar radiation and the air moisture were also measured. A discussion of the experimental and theoretical approach used in this study and a discussion of the experimental and theoretical results are presented.
