Performance analysis of absorber tube in parabolic trough solar collector inserted with semi-annular and fin shape metal foam hybrid structure

The objective of present study is to investigate the effect of a novel type of insertion, i.e. semi-annular and fin shape metal foam (SAFM) hybrid structure on thermohydraulic and thermodynamic performance of absorber tube in parabolic trough collector (PTC). The influences of SAFM fin shapes (recta...
