Solar Still Model using a Phase Change Material.

How do I make a Conventional Solar Still model with PCM in it and simulate it in simulink?

In library there is nothing available with which I can make the model and I only know the very Basics of Matlab and Simulink.

I searched online, and found this website https://www.redslibrary.com/product-page/solar-still-pcm-storage-performance-model

We can buy that model, but I want to know how do i create my own model and simulate it.

One option to consider is using the two-phase fluid domain in Simscape to model the evaporation and condensation of water. In particular, this Receiver Accumulator block can use useful.
