Figure 1. Schematics of Different Solar Vapor Generators (IMAGE)
Caption
(a) This is a schematics of traditional two dimensional solar steam generation with direct water contact. (Here, the conduction loss means the heat from the absorber to bulk water. The convection and radiation loss mean the heat from absorber to environment) (b) Schematics of three dimensional artificial transpiration device with suppressed heat loss. (The red straight arrows represent the direction of heat conduction. The red crooked arrows represent the direction of heat convection and radiation. The blue straight arrows represent the direction of water supply.)
