  Parametric Study of Parabolic Trough Solar Collector System: A Review

  By Hardik H. Suchak, Vikram H. Mody

  Abstract: The detailed thermal analysis of a parabolic trough collector (PTC) was carried out to predict the thermal performance. The analysis is based on the established theory of PTC—the radiation absorption, heat loss from the collector, and temperature distribution on the plate. An analytical program, suitable for use on a digital computer is developed for the purpose of studying the hourly behavior of a solar collector. The exergy output is optimized …
