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. . 410 0$aMechanical Engineering Series,$x2192-063X 606 $aSolar energy 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aSun 606 $aEnergy storage 606 $aProduction engineering 606 $aSolar Thermal Energy 606 $aRenewable Energy 606 $aSolar Physics 606 $aMechanical and Thermal Energy Storage 606 $aThermal Process Engineering 615 0$aSolar energy. 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aSun. 615 0$aEnergy storage. 615 0$aProduction engineering. 615 14$aSolar Thermal Energy. 615 24$aRenewable Energy. 615 24$aSolar Physics. 615 24$aMechanical and Thermal Energy Storage. 615 24$aThermal Process Engineering. 676 $a621.31244 700 $aChakraborty$b Oveepsa$01861457 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911047702903321 996 $aParabolic Solar Trough Collector$94467565 997 $aUNINA
