The Thermal Performance of a Low Cost Solar Parabolic Dish Collector for Process Heat
2012
Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects
The paper presents development and performance characteristics of a low-cost Parabolic solar collector. The scope of this paper is to simulate the design process of a solar thermal parabolic trough collector (PTC). The design effort starts off with the selection of parameters namely, the aperture area and the diameter of the receiver. The developed parabolic solar collector consists of trough moulded from an acrylic sheet and polymer mirror film used as reflecting surface. The aim was to keep
