Heat engineering calculation of a parabolo-cylindrical solar concentrator with tubular reactor for crude oil preparation for refining in the oil fields

Application of Solar Energy Heating System in Some Oil Industry Units and its Economy

“…For the applications of solar energy in oil industry, researchers studied using solar thermal energy in heating viscous fuel oil to about 50°C and stored at that temperature [8,9], heating crude oil to maintain flow ability during transportation [10][11][12][13] and thermal treatment of crude oil by heating water in the collector to 85-90°C then heated water exchanges heat with crude which is heated to 55-60°C [14].…”
