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 ...
Performance Analysis of a Solar Cascaded Absorption Cooling System Using a Performance-Enhanced Parabolic Trough Collector
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article proposes an innovative approach to improve the performance of solar cooling systems by utilizing a cascaded absorption cooling (CAC) system. This article also examines the viability of coupling an NH3–H2O ...
Optimum Size and Heat Transfer and Velocity Correlations of the Outer and Inner Surfaces of Vertical Hollow Polygonal Cylinders in Natural Convection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Laminar natural convection heat transfer from vertical hollow polygonal cylinders with a wide range of cross-sectional areas is investigated. The buoyancy-driven three-dimensional (3D) flow around hollow polygonal cylinders ...
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, ...
