RISNumerical Analysis of Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Parabolic Trough Collector Based on Geometry Modifications and Working Fluid Usage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Concentrated Solar Powered Novel Multi-Generation System: A Energy, Exergy, and Environmental Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Second-Law Analysis and Exergoeconomics Optimization of a Solar Tower–Driven Combined-Cycle Power Plant Using Supercritical CO2
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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. ...
Optimal Analysis of Entropy Generation and Heat Transfer in Parabolic Trough Collector Using Green-Synthesized TiO2/Water Nanofluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Olive Leaf-Synthesized Nanofluids for Solar Parabolic Trough Collector—Thermal Performance Evaluation
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
