A solar thermal collector is a heat that absorbs via sunlight. It device turns the energy in sunshine or radiation into useful and storable form. This conveyed electromagnetic with wavelengths ranging from infrared (long) to ultraviolet (short). Solar one of cleanest most versatile renewable sources when compared other sources. trough collectors (PTC), Compound Parabolic Collectors (CPC), Linea...

Renewable energy is one of the cleaner generation strategies practiced all over world to reduce environmental impacts and waste based on current sustainability in economic practices. Solar kind renewable sources for different application. The thermal storage system solar least methods research, utilization application attaining higher responses quite possible. In this paper, heat attained by pa...

In order to effectually improve the performance of parabolic trough solar collector system and homogenize temperature distribution on absorber tube, an innovative convergent-divergent tube was designed as PTR. The finite volume method (FVM) Monte Carlo ray tracing (MCRT) are combined simulate heat transfer process in collector. average relative error between numerical results experimental condu...

Parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSCs) are commonly used for applications that reach a temperature of up to 500 °C. Recently, improving the efficiency PTSCs has been focus research because have advantages, such as cost and size reduction improved optical thermal performance. This study summarizes relevant published on preparation, properties experimental behavior PTSCs. Analyzing modeling me...

Abstract In recent decades, solar energy has emerged as the most promising renewable source and best alternative to conventional due its abundant availability, free, clean, no atmospheric hazards, eco-friendly, sustainable nature, other factors. Because of wide temperature range (up 400 °C), parabolic trough collector is commonly used in concentrated power technology. A can be divided into two ...

The objective of this work is to study the thermal behavior a solar heating system using an active layer, integrated in wall and supplied with hot water by parabolic trough collector (PTC). prototype includes PTC surface area 1.8m 2 , tank layer wall. A complete simulation model TRNSYS 16 software has been established. Simulation tests under climatic conditions city Errachidia located southeast...
