Mathematical Modeling and Performance Analysis of the Parabolic Solar Collector

EasyChair Preprint no. 5281

Abstract

In nowadays there are several types of solar collectors have already been developed. The parabolic cylindrical solar collector is used to increase the temperature of the fluid (air / water). In the present of our work, a parabolic cylindrical solar collector has been fabricated using the standard methodology proposed for the construction of conventional solar heaters. The variation in solar radiation, the air outlet temperature and the variation in the temperature of the absorbent plate throughout the day were recorded. The efficiency, effective optical efficiency and effective heat loss coefficient of the single cover flat plate solar collector were calculated. The effect of wind speed on the performance of the sensor was also studied.

Keyphrases: Absorber, parabolic trough, solar receiver
