Abstract:

Performance a double slope of the solar still Integrated With or without parabolic trough collector is investigated experimentally. To improve the output of a double slope solar still, a number of initiatives have been undertaken, using wax as a phase change material (PCM) with a parabolic trough collector. A parabolic trough collector (PTC) transfers incident solar energy to the solar still through a water tube connected to a heat exchanger embedded in used microcrystalline wax. Experiments were carried out after orienting the basin to the south and holding the water depth in the basin at 20

Abstract:

A parabolic solar collector collects the radiant energy emitted from the sun and focuses on a point. Parabolic trough collectors are the low-cost implementation of concentrated solar power technology that focuses incident sunlight onto a tube filled with a heat transfer fluid. However, the fundamental problem with the cylindrical parabolic collector without tracking was that the solar collector does not move with the sun's orientation. The development of an automatic tracking system for cylindrical parabolic collectors will increase solar collection and the efficiency of devices. The present s

Abstract:

Various data reveals the potential of concentrated solar technologies for the electricity production. With global growing energy demand and green-house gas emission, concentrating solar power is considered as one of the promising options and has invited wide attention. In this work, a model for a 30 MW parabolic trough solar power plant system was developed for 31 different locations in Brazil, using TRNSYS simulation software, and TESS and STEC libraries. The power system consists of a parabolic trough solar collector loop connected to a power block by a series of heat exchangers. The solar c

Abstract:

The parabolic trough collector provides an extensive range of solar heating and electricity production applications in solar power plants. The receiver tube of the parabolic trough collector has a vital role in enhancing its performance by using different inserts inside it. In the present work, outdoor experimental tests were conducted to study the performance of a small-scale parabolic trough collector equipped with a centrally placed rotating helical shaft. Three cases were studied: a parabolic trough collector without helical shaft insert, a parabolic trough collector with stationary helica

Abstract:

Dispersing small amounts of solid nano particles into base-fluid has a significant impact on the thermo-physical properties of the base-fluid. These properties are utilized for effective capture and transportation of solar energy. This paper attempts key idea for harvesting solar energy by using alumina nanofluid in concentrating parabolic trough collectors. An experimental study is carried out to investigate the performance of a parabolic trough collector using Al2O3-H2O based nanofluid. Results clearly indicate that at same ambient, inlet temperatures, flow rate, concentration ratio etc. hik

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to improve the thermal performance of the evacuated tube solar collectors by using secondary reflectors and covering the collector surface area with an aluminum foil. Adding a secondary reflecting surface in the form of a parabola fixed on the end of the parabolic trough, acts as an additional reflective surface, which increases the input energy to the solar collector and consequently improves the thermal output of the collector. Two solar collectors were manufactured, one with modifications and the other without modifications, which is taken as a reference for the sak

Abstract The aim of this study is to utilize solar thermal collectors to harness solar energy and convert it into thermal energy that can be used in various applications. This study designs and evaluates three types of solar thermal collectors: The first type is a flat-plate collector without reflectors, while the second type compound parabolic collector (CPC) includes reflectors in the form of a compound parabolic. The third type uses V-trough collector with V-shaped reflectors to enhance solar energy concentration. The temperature of the water exiting the solar collectors was measured. The c

Abstract:

Buildings represent approximately two-thirds of the overall energy needs, mainly due to the growing energy consumption of air conditioning and water heating loads. Hence, it is necessary to minimize energy usage in buildings. Numerous research studies have been carried out on evacuated tube solar collectors, but to our knowledge, no previous study has mentioned the combination of an evacuated tube solar collector with a parabolic trough collector and a helical coil heat exchanger. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the thermal behavior of an innovative evacuated tube solar collector (E
