Inverse modeling of a solar collector involving Fourier and non-Fourier heat conduction

Optimization of a solar air heater with phase change materials: Experimental and numerical study

“…Using this optimization method, they proposed suitable materials for the absorber plate and different locations satisfying a given temperature field in the collector. Arka Bhowmik et al [34] compared three optimization methods to estimate unknown parameters satisfying a given temperature field in a flat-plate solar collector. The methods were golden section search method (GSSM), simplex search method (SSM) and differential evolution (DE), while analytical forward method was used by considering Fourier and non-Fourier heat conduction to calculate the temperature field.…”

Real-time thermal states monitoring of absorber tube for parabolic trough solar collector with non-uniform solar flux

“…There have been some different optimization algorithms that were used to realize the inverse analysis of flat‐plate solar collector, which are artificial bee colony algorithm, simulated annealing‐based evolutionary optimization algorithm, binary‐coded genetic algorithm, and hybrid evolutionary algorithm . Also, R. Das adopted 2 direct search methods and an evolutionary method to predict some thermal parameters of a flat‐plate solar collector . For real‐time inverse analysis, inverse Laplace transform, Kalman filter, and input estimation method have been developed in some thermal conditions.…”
