RISNumerical Investigation of Optical Performance in V-Trough Solar Concentrators Using Bifacial and Trifacial Absorbers With Various Bottom Reflector Geometries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. The present study investigates the optical performance of a V-trough solar concentrator using four distinct bottom reflector configurations: flat, parabolic (PP), circular (CC), and a combination of circular and ...
Performance Evaluation of a Double-Slope Solar Still Using Various Horizontal Wick Materials Combined With a Copper Sphere Filled With Phase Change Material (CuO/ZnO)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. In this present study, different wick materials and phase change materials (PCMs) were used to improve the performance of the modified double-slope solar still (DSSS) compared to the conventional DSSS. To enhance ...
Influence of Corrugated Booster Reflectors in a Centrally Finned Twist Inserted Solar Thermal Collector on Heat Transfer and Thermal Performance Characteristics
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this present work, the influence of corrugated booster reflectors (CBR) in a centrally finned twist (CFT) inserted solar thermal collector (SC) on heat transfer and thermal performance characteristics has been approached ...
Enhancing Productivity of V-Trough Solar Water Heater Incorporated Flat Plate Wick-Type Solar Water Distillation System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This experimentation deals with the comparative study of a flat plate wick-based solar water distillation system (SWDS) with and without V-trough (VT) solar collector (SC) under the actual environmental conditions of Salem, ...
Performance Enhancement of Tubular Solar Still With Various Rotating Wicked Materials—An Experimental Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The need for freshwater grows by the day, yet the amount of freshwater accessible worldwide is insufficient to fulfil it. The distillation of saltwater could be a way to meet the demand for freshwater. The current study ...
