... natural circulation parabolic trough collector solar energy system absorber heat transfer mass transfer radiation Mersin Üniversitesi 10.13039/501100004172 2017-2-AP4-2584 Natural circulation systems are systems in which flow occurs due to the density difference created...

... if they were to operate separately to meet the same cooling load. In addition, the article investigates the impact of a performance-enhanced parabolic trough collector (PEPTC) on the thermal and exergetic efficiencies of the solar cooling system. By employing a PEPTC, the area required for the solar field...

...R. Lekhal; M. A. Ait-Ali; T. Ahmed Zaid This work presents a numerical simulation of a thermal model for a solar loop with parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) considering fluid recirculation at closed-loop (CL) operation during sunrise. At the beginning of the day, the heat transfer fluid (HTF...

...-tracing analysis to homogenize the receiver tube flux distribution and maximize the output power, making the use of the cutting edge solar optical simulation tool Tonatiuh, has been presented. A parabolic trough collector with a rim angle of 80 deg and aperture area of 40 m 2 have been used...

Ratlamwala; Serkan Abbasoglu; Mustafa Dagbasi This study presents an experimental nanoparticle synthesis and the numerical analysis of a parabolic trough collector (PTC) operating with olive leaf synthesized TiO 2 /water nanofluid. The PTC is modeled...

... melting process. In this study, the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a parabolic trough collector (PTC) solar field are compared with that of a steam boiler. Different working fluids (water vapor and Therminol-VP1 heat transfer oil (HTO)) through the solar field are also investigated. The results...
