“…The facility utilizes solar (UVA) insolation for the treatment of pathogens. Rizwan et al (2014) has experimentally analyzed the parabolic trough for the water distillation and has analyzed two cases by varying the height of the inlet with respect to parabolic trough base. Phalak et al (2017) have proposed model of solar RO water purifier by using solar PV cell for remote application.…”

Application of solar energy to purify the water is advancing rapidly since it is an attractive alternative because of its simple technology; non-requirement of skilled labor for maintenance work, low energy consumption and no fuel is required for operating such water purification unit. This paper deals with the performance evaluation of the solar water purification at Mechanical Engineering Department MMMUT Gorakhpur, India. To perform this experiment, parabolic trough of fixed rim angle and length is considered. Based upon rim angle and length other pertinent parameters are calculated and selection of materials for fabrication of the unit is done. After that solar water purifier unit is fabricated. The solar parabolic collector utilizes the concentrating solar power technology to concentrate the solar insolation. The performance of parabolic trough is evaluated by considering the effect of glass cover on the concentrator. Various results are plotted between the temperature of the fluid and time keeping other parameters held fixed. Further a comparative study is performed for solar water purification unit with and without glass cover. The purity of water is measured based on its pH value and total dissolved solid (TDS).

“…Solar energy is received at the surface of the entirely different due to various reasons. Solar energy has the most significant potential of all the sources of renewable energy, and if only a small amount of this form could be used, it is one of the essential supplies of energy, significantly when other sources in the country have depleted (Rizwan et al, 2014). Non-conventional energy resources can be a great alternative to these problems in nearby future.…”

A parabolic solar collector collects the radiant energy emitted from the sun and focuses on a point. Parabolic trough collectors are the low-cost implementation of concentrated solar power technology that focuses incident sunlight onto a tube filled with a heat transfer fluid. However, the fundamental problem with the cylindrical parabolic collector without tracking was that the solar collector does not move with the sun's orientation. The development of an automatic tracking system for cylindrical parabolic collectors will increase solar collection and the efficiency of devices. The present study of this project work presents an experimental platform based on the design, development, and performance characteristic of water heating by tracking solar cylindrical parabolic concentrating system. The tracking mechanism is to be made by stepper motor arrangement to receive the maximum possible energy of solar radiation as it tracks the sun's path. The performance of the parabolic trough collectors is experimentally investigated with the water circulated as heat transfer fluid. The collector efficiency is calculated.
