Gas heat conduction in an evacuated tube solar collector

Solar Energy, 1996
Abstract We investigated experimentally the pressure dependency of the gas heat conduction in an evacuated plate-in-tube solar collector. A stationary heat loss experiment was built up with an electrically heated real-size collector model. The gas pressure was varied from 10−3 to 104 Pa, the temperatures of the absorber and the casing were held at ...

Numerical analysis of evacuated tube solar collectors using nanofluids

Solar Energy, 2019
Abstract In this study, numerical analysis of water and water based nanofluids in ETSCs were made by using CFD. Validation of the study was made by comparing an experimental and two different numerical results. Thanks to the analyzes, the effects of water based Al2O3 H2O and CuO H2O nanofluids compared to water on heat transfer for different volume ...

Optimum number and arrangement of evacuated-tube solar collectors under various operating conditions

Energy Conversion and Management, 2019
Evacuated-tube solar collectors are featured by high outlet temperatures with a relatively high thermal efficiency and no direct environmental impacts. However, improper selection of the number of collectors and their arrangement, can lead to undesirable
