Abstract: Thermal efficiencies of the solar field of two different parabolic trough concentrator (PTC) systems are evaluated for a variety of operating conditions and geographical locations, using a detailed 3D heat transfer model. ...

Abstract: A combination of experimental measurements with a numerical model is used to find the volumeaveraged radiation properties—extinction coefficient, scattering albedo and approximated scattering phase function—of SiC ...

Abstract: Heat transfer measurements for nucleate pool boiling of a dilute emulsion on a short vertical surface are reported. The vertical surface is a thin steel ribbon of 1.35 mm height أ— 101 mm length. Direct current ...
