Multiobjective design optimization of parabolic trough collectors [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractDespite the large amount of research conducted on PTC performance analysis, few and rare numbers of research have considered the design optimization of PTCs. In the present work, a novel multiobjective-optimization model is developed for design optimization of PTCs. The objective functions are the thermal and exergetic efficiencies because they
