“…Optical power output of the photodiode as a function of applied voltage was calibrated to an accuracy of about ±5%. This indicates that the incident intensity on the PM multilayer was about 3% of the solar level [32]. Data was acquired at a rate of 1 kHz.…”

“…or thin films (0.025-0.125 mm; 0.001-0.005 in.). The IR transmission (2.5- 15.0 pm wavelength region) curves of a number of plastics has been reported, the thicknesses of the samples being typical of those used in solar collector experiments [5,23]. The plastics most commonly used for glazing in solar collectors are: poly(methy1 methacrylate) (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), glass-fiber-reinforced polyester (GRP) sheeting, and tilms of poly(viny1 fluoride) (PVF) and fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP) copolymer.…”

The aging behaviour of most of these plastics has been widely studied for normal outdoor exposure and in artificial weathering devices, and are thus briefly described here. Very Little information is available, however, regarding their short-term performance under actual service conditions in solar energy installations; none has been reported on their long-term durability.Plastics have various degrees of flammability and therefore special care should be taken by using materials with adequate tire resistance andlor appropriate design in applications where a fire hazard may exist. IhmowmONSolar energy is the ideal source of energy for space heating and power generation: it is practically inexhaustible, is easily converted and its use does not result in pollution. Efforts to harness solar energy have been accelerated during the last decade as world demand for energy grows.Although solar energy is "free", the cost of making

“…The idea of using sun's energy is not a new one as it can be predated to the ancient Greek civilization [3]. More recent and industrial use of solar energy can be seen in 18th century when concentrating solar were used as "solar furnaces" to melt iron, coper and other metals [4]. During the last 50 years many variations were designed and constructed using focusing collectors as a means of heating the transfer or working fluid which powered mechanical equipment [5].…”

The goal of this study is to model the effects of wind on Cylindrical Trough Collectors (CTCs). Two major areas are discussed in this paper: 1) heat losses due to wind flow over receiver pipe and 2) average forces applied on the collector's body. To accomplish these goals a 2D modeling of CTC was carried out using commercial codes with various wind velocities and collector orientations. Ambient temperature was assumed to be constant at 300 K and for specific geometries different meshing methods and boundary conditions were used in various runs. Validation was done by comparing the simulation results for a horizontal collector with empirical data. It was observed that maximum force of 509.1 Newton per Meter occurs at +60 degrees. Nusselt number is almost the constant for positive angles while at negative angles it varies considerably with the collector's orientation.
