Modeling and Optimization of Parabolic Trough Solar Collectors

A dynamic three-dimensional volume element model (VEM) of a parabolic trough solar collector (PTC) comprising an outer glass cover, annular space, absorber tube, and heat transfer fluid is studied with detail. The model is coupled with an existing semi-finite optical model for the purpos...
