RISEffect of Variable Nusselt Number and Nonuniform Wall Irradiation on Collector Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes an analytical study of the laminar heat transfer in cylindrical, flat and fin-tube absorber ducts subjected to variable wall irradiation and external heat losses. The study ...

A Numerical Study of the Natural Convection in CPC Solar Collector Cavities with Tubular Absorbers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The laminar free convection in a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) solar collector cavity is numerically simulated using the finite element method. Results are presented for representative CPC ...
Estimation of Collector Performance Parameters From Daily System Tests
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A test procedure to estimate the daily mean values of the linear collector characteristics, FR ,(τα) and FR UL , from the measured variation of the storage tank temperature was investigated. ...
An Experimental Study of Free Convection in Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CPC) Cavities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study of the free convection heat transfer between the cylindrical absorber and the flat top of a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is described. Results are obtained for a ...
