Factors Influencing the Design of Parabolic Trough Collector: A Review
Abstract: Due to limited resource availability and high conventional energy usage, research into renewable energy has increased during the past few years. Utilizing collecting systems, significant renewable energy can be produced from the available solar radiation. The majority of solar energy harvesting systems use parabolic trough concentrating collectors. The performance of parabolic trough collectors as a whole is examined in this paper. The operating characteristics, such as the type of receiver …

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. …

Oceanic Temperature Gradient as an Alternative Energy Source
Abstract: World is facing an energy crunch. To respond to the global warming, we either need a supply that has no carbon release or we need to find means to consume less energy. As the supply of non-renewable energy resources is depleting, there is a demand for new energy technologies. Oceans cover almost 70% of the earth’s surface, making them world’s largest solar collector. This paper discusses a new technological approach …

Effective efficiency of return flow solar air heater
Abstract: In this paper, the effective efficiency of a return flow solar collector with artificial roughness in the form of V shaped ribs is presented as a function of parameters pertaining to roughness like angle of attack (α), and relative roughness height (e/D) and other relevant operating parameters. Analytical methods were used & governing energy balance equations are used to evaluate results. Plots on these aspects have been presented and discussed …

A Review on Mechanical Behavior of Lithium Ion Batteries for Electric Vehicles
Abstract: The current automobile industries are much dependent on conventional petroleum fuels like petrol, diesel etc. which are creating many environmental issues due to combustion reactions and generation of carbon dioxide. This continues use of conventional fuels leads to either increasing the price of it and vanishing of its resources in future. Considering this pure battery based electric vehicle or electric vehicle with hybridize combination of battery and any other energy …

Comparative Analysis of Parabolic Trough Solar Water Heater by Using Different Reflectors with and without Glass Cover
Abstract: Abstract All forms of energy on earth are derived from solar energy, so it is the primary source. Demand of energy consumption in today’s era is increasing continuously; this puts the burden on our conventional energy sources like coal, petroleum, natural gas etc. which are limited and can exhaust in future if not managed by alternate sources. So, use of solar energy for various energy generation processes is best option …
