“…The heat flux for model (1.5) inch absorber tube diameter, gives the highest value of the heat flux . Also figure (7) show the highest value of collector efficiency was for the collector with 1.5-inch absorber tube diameter. This due to the absorber tube with diameter 1.5 inch has the biggest surface area than the others , which heat transfer by conduction depend on the surface area of the tube.…”

A system of test rigs of solar collectors with the compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) have designed to study the performance namely (heat flux and efficiency) for all the solar collectors. The acceptance angle of the CPC taken at 45⁰ for all the solar collectors. The system used to study the effect of absorbing tube diameter on the solar collector performance. A halogen light used as energy source with different absorber tube diameters (0.75, 1, and 1.5) inch used. It has observed that the relationship between the time with the readings of water temperature inside the absorber tube and the performance results show that there are three regions for variation for all collectors. The variation for the water temperature, heat flux and efficiency in the first region varied sharply, in the second region varied gradually and in the third region remained constant. The compering performance results between the different solar collectors with different absorber tube diameters show that the collector with 1.5-inch absorber tube diameter gives the best performance than the others. Where the percentage increase in the temperature for the collector with absorber tube diameter of 1.5 inch compering with the other diameters ( 0.75 , 1 ) inch are (28.3 and 20.7) respectively While in case of heat flux are (69.8 and 53.4) and for the efficiency are (68.8 and 28).

“…Different geometries for the absorber have been investigated. A prototype performance of 2D trough CPC with a flat absorber on base was examined by Al-Ghasem, et al [29]. Mishra, et al [30] integrated the U-shaped evacuated tabular collector with a compound parabolic concentrator to optimize the evacuated tabular collector.…”

Compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) has been gaining ever-increasing attention from academic researchers and industrial developers owing to its stationary feature for solar energy collection with a higher efficiency. As a low concentration concentrator with a larger acceptance angle and without a tracking requirement, it is an attractive solution to improve the system performance and reduce the cost of photovoltaic (PV) system, solar thermal system, daylighting and lighting systems, etc. This study will present a comprehensive and up-to-date review of its design principles for miscellaneous configurations, applications, performance predictions and technological advances. Numerous technically focused studies since 2000 will be introduced and summarized. Finally, the outlook focusing on CPC designs and improvements will be proposed.
