Performance of cylindrical solar still with hemispherical cover: CFD simulation study

Performance of Rotating Solar Still with Rotating External Reflectors (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this research, a rotating solar still that uses external bottom reflectors was experimentally investigated. The solar still and reflectors have the capability to shift their angle with respect to the south and the reflectors have the capability to shift their angle with respect to the horizon. The experiment has been performed in both fixed and rotating states. For the fixed state the solar ...

Investigation of Separator Cyclone Performance Using CFD Simulation: A Case Study of Cement Industry Cyclone

This paper tends to investigate the performance of a separator cyclone used in cement industries in Iran. This investigation was performed using CFD modeling, which is validated by other valid studies. Separator cyclone performance includes of two important parameters as pressure drop and collection ratio. In this presented study, the pressure drop has been considered to assess the performance ...

Experimental Study on a Compound Parabolic Concentrator Tubular Solar Still Tied with Pyramid Solar Still

Simulation of solar still processes of salt water

All around planet Earth, access to drinkable fresh water is a problem with increasing relevance, being its scarceness the origin of many diseases, namely in underdeveloped countries and a potential motivation to future conflicts. The present work focuses in the modelling of solar still systems of salt water, aiming at producing fresh water, having considered for that purpose four types of insta...

Designing a Solar Thermal Cylindrical Parabolic Trough Concentrator by Simulation

The focus on renewable energy in Malaysia gained momentum with the active involvement of the government and the private sector. This move can potentially help in diversifying the country's energy options besides relying on oil, natural gas, coal and hydropower. The scope of this paper is to look at the designing procedures of a solar thermal cylindrical parabolic trough concentrator (CPTC) by s...
