RISParametric Investigation of a V-Shape Ribbed Absorber Tube in Parabolic Trough Solar Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reports on a parametric investigation of the thermal enhancement of a double-reflector parabolic trough collector when employing an in-line mixed V-shape (IMVS) ribbed absorber tube. Three heat transfer fluids ...
Effect of Different Arrangements of V-Shaped Ribs on the Performance of an Optically Enhanced Parabolic Trough Solar Collector
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this article, a V-shaped ribbed tube is utilized to improve the thermal performance of a parabolic trough collector (PTC). Six different rib arrangements are employed, and a detailed analysis is presented. In addition, ...
