Abstract
FONSECA-FONSECA, Susana et al. Tool for the simulation of the thermal behavior and the productivity of solar distillers of greenhouse type. RTQ [online]. 2017, vol.37, n.2, pp. 305-321. ISSN 2224-6185.
This paper presents the methodology used for the design and construction of software to simulate tray greenhouse type distillers. It is part of an energy balance in the three fundamental parts of these distillers say the tray, water and glass by the approach of a system of differential equations. From the establishment of this system of equations is implemented an algorithm to find its Solution in numerical form. This program offers different options for the dimensioning of these equipments taking into account the climatological characteristics of the place where it will work as some constructive characteristics. The results obtained are shown by graphs that demonstrate the agreement with calculations made using professional software for the analytical solution of the system of equations used.
