In the present study, a zero-dimensional thermal model has been developed to analyze novel low concentration photovoltaic-thermal (CPVT) collector. The by driving heat transfer and energy balance equations for each part of collector then solving all simultaneously. Moreover, Monte-Carlo ray-tracing software used optical stimulations parabolic trough solar CPVT experimentally tested at Gävle Uni...

The heat transfer characteristics of the working fluid passing through absorber a solar parabolic trough collector (SPTC) can be enhanced by creation turbulence effect. Therefore, novel idea was implemented introducing corrugated tube (CT) instead plain in collector. enhancement improved further use conical strip inserts inside SPTC. A receiver with pitch 8 mm and corrugation height 2 used thre...

One way to overcome the scarcity of clean water through sustainable approach is by utilizing a solar distillation system. This easy-to-use technology adopting tubular distillation. The three main components, which are most essential for producing amount permeate, collector, and heat exchanger (HE). study aims determine performance device equipped with HE using parabolic trough collector (PTC). ...
