AEROGELS – A VALUE ADDITION TO HARVEST SOLAR ENERGY
Abstract: Aerogels are a class of synthetic porous ultralight material that was created in 1930 and derived from a gel, in which the liquid component has been replaced with a gas without collapsing the gel structure by freeze-drying. It is made of silica, but carbon, iron oxide, gold, copper, polymer etc. can also be used. During freeze drying the liquid in the gel is slowly dried off without collapsing the solid …

A Taguchi approach for determination of parametric dependence in absorber tube of parabolic trough solar collector with roughened surfaces
Abstract: The Taguchi experimental design approach is used in this study to offer the ideal design parameters for the absorber tube with roughened surfaces. In order to determine parametric dependence, passive heat transfer augmentation strategies have been used in the parabolic trough receiver in this article by applying the Taguchi approach. So, for better understanding, two case studies are analyzed using two augmentation technique i.e., wire coil and twisted tape inserts. …
