... that the UWS assumption could be considered a design safety factor. As such, a uniform velocity profile is often used in the structural optimization design of solar collectors [ 39 , 40 ]. From this, we can conclude that the used computational method is reliable and suitable for a range of conditions...

The studied configuration is a plane solar collector incorporating a PCM layer and coupled to a concrete slab (a roof of a building). The study is conducted for Casablanca (Morocco) meteorological conditions. Several simulations were...

...Radim Rybár; Dušan Kudelas; Martin Beer; Jana Horodníková The paper deals with the elimination of heat losses in a flat low-pressure solar collector caused by direct contact of outlet pipefitting and the Al–Mg collector box. This is manifested by reduced thermal efficiency of the solar collector...

..., it is possible to use this reaction as a way to store primary energy. In this paper, we propose that this reaction can be driven with a vacuum packaged, nonimaging solar collector which has high overall efficiency. The linear compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) collector was designed with a half angle of 27.4...

... Flamant. 31 12 2012 16 12 2013 Evacuated receivers used with parabolic trough solar collectors can be characterized in terms of their heat loss and optical efficiency. The optical efficiency is the ratio of the energy collected to the incident solar radiation when operating at ambient...

... flux of 1000   W / m 2 is between 46% and 59%. As seen on the graph, this efficiency decreases for lower heat fluxes. A novel micro solar collector/reactor concept has been presented. The collector is expected to supply the energy needed to reach and maintain the required...
