The effect and contribution of wind generated rotation on outlet temperature and heat gain of LS-2 parabolic trough solar collector

The Monte Carlo ray tracing method is applied and coupled with finite volume numerical methods to study effect of rotation on outlet temperature and heat gain of LS-2 parabolic trough concentrator (PTC). Based on effect of sunshape, curve of mirror and use of MCRT, heat flux distribution around o...
