Abstract: The parabolic trough collector (PTC) is one of the most widely deployed concentrating solar power technology in the world. This study aims at improving the operational efficiency of the commercially available LS-2 solar ...

Abstract: The concentration ratio of the parabolic dish solar collector (PDSC) is considered to be one of the highest among the concentrated solar power technologies (CSPs); therefore, such system is capable of generating more heat ...

Abstract: he potential predictability (PP) of seasonal-mean 200-hPa geopotential height (Z200) anomalies in the Pacific?North American (PNA) region is examined for El Niño and La Niña separately by using 50 ensemble members of ...

Abstract: A novel multi-generation system (MGS) that comprises two absorption cycles, two Rankine cycles (RCs), and a hot water (HW) production chamber is studied in this research. It is designed to utilize the waste heat from the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a framework for the first and second law analysis and an exergoeconomic optimization of a solar tower power plant using supercritical CO2, integrated with a combined cycle for electricity production. ...

Abstract: This study presents an experimental nanoparticle synthesis and the numerical analysis of a parabolic trough collector (PTC) operating with olive leaf synthesized TiO2/water nanofluid. The PTC is modeled after the LS-2 ...

Abstract: This study presents a novel performance evaluation of the commercially available LS-2 collector operating with an oil-based olive leaf-synthesized nanofluid. The nanoparticles were synthesized experimentally from olive ...
