A new non-iterative friction factor correlation for heat transfer fluids in absorber tube of parabolic trough collector

In this study, friction factors of heat transfer fluids (HTFs) that flow through the absorber tube in parabolic trough collector (PTC) are compared with using correlations. Syltherm 800 and Therminol VP-1 HTFs are considered for this study. Also, turbulent flow and rough pipe are considered for eval...
