Alternative designs of parabolic trough solar collectors
Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 2019Abstract Parabolic trough collector (PTC) is the most established solar concentrating technology worldwide. The conventional parabolic trough collectors are used in various applications of medium and high-temperature levels. However, there are numerous studies which investigate alternative designs.

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.

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.

Optical Modeling of Parabolic Trough Solar Collector
2020In this article, the flux distribution of parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) is performed by considering limb darkening effect in the incoming solar radiation. Inhouse model is developed using the MATLAB tool for the analysis. The effort is also made to reduce the computation time of CPU by converting the complete PTSC problem into two-dimensional
