EVALUATION OF A PARABOLIC TROUGH COLLECTOR PERFORMANCE
2012In this paper the collector erected at the Archimedes Solar Energy Laboratory is initially presented followed by the performance evaluation of the collector. The collector is made by Nep Solar from Australia. It has an aperture area of 14.4 m2, a concentration ratio of 13.7 and can be operated up to 200°C.

Optimization of parabolic trough solar collectors
Solar Energy, 1982Abstract The results of a detailed optical analysis of parabolic trough solar collectors are summarized by a few universal graphs and curve fits. These graphs enable the designer of parabolic trough collectors to calculate the performance and optimize the design with a simple hand calculator.

Design of solar parabolic trough collector
2017 International Conference on Advances in Mechanical, Industrial, Automation and Management Systems (AMIAMS), 2017In this paper, the design stages of a solar parabolic trough collector is presented. The design of prototype was done using Creo parametric 2.0 software. The design parameters are decided on the basis of analysis and its effects due to variations in the parameters. This design process will be useful in fabrication of solar parabolic trough collector.

Vacuum Cavity Parabolic Trough Collector
Volume 6B: Energy, 2014Without frequent cleaning, dust accumulation on parabolic trough collectors can lead to significant degradation of the performance of trough collectors over time. Owing to the nature of the trough profile and the presence of the receiving tube in the middle of the trough, automatic cleaning has not been a feasible option.

Modeling and Optimization of Parabolic Trough Collector
2021Parabolic trough collector (PTC) is a concentrating collector widely used for steam cooking, water heating, and also steam power generation and desalination work. The performance of PTC is strongly depends on its process parameters and is a MCDM problem. Implementation of integrated method, that is, entropy with graph theory and matrix approach (E-GTMA)
