ABSTRACT
This study presents the
modeling of a parabolic trough solar collector. The main objective is to show the influences
of the parabolic trough sensor effective efficiency (concentrator optical
efficiencies of transmission, reflection, geometrical and the receiver
absorption coefficient), of its length, of the mass flow rate on temperatures distributions of the
heat fluid and the receiver and on thermal
global efficiency (solar conversion efficiency into energy usable). The
atmospheric parameters are those of Senegal in April. A prototype existing in
the CERER (Center of Studies and
Research on Renewable Energies) (Dakar-Senegal) is given as example of application.
KEYWORDS
Parabolic trough solar collector, receptor, efficiency, temperature, fluid.
