It covers various aspects of solar energy power generation in practice, including details about the sun, such as the solar constant, different types of solar radiation, solar time, and the direction of beam radiation. Additionally, the book delves into the thermal performance of different types of solar concentrating collectors, focusing specifically on the fundamental principles of parabolic solar trough collectors. Drawing upon historical contexts, it examines the detailed evolution of these collectors in terms of thermal and optical performance, and it addresses techniques developed to tackle challenges such as non-uniform heat flux distribution on the receiver tube's outermost surface. .Mechanical Engineering Series,2192-063XSolar energyRenewable energy sourcesSunEnergy storageProduction engineeringSolar Thermal EnergyRenewable EnergySolar PhysicsMechanical and Thermal Energy StorageThermal Process EngineeringSolar energy.Renewable energy sources.Sun.Energy storage.Production engineering.Solar Thermal Energy.Renewable Energy.Solar Physics.Mechanical and Thermal Energy Storage.Thermal Process Engineering.621.31244Chakraborty Oveepsa1861457MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911047702903321Parabolic Solar Trough Collector4467565UNINA
