Abstract: Parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) play a vital role in solar-thermal energy conversion, with the absorber tube being central to heat collection efficiency. This study investigates the potential for improving heat transfer within the PTC absorber tube using Fiberfrax 140 coated with Al 2O 3 as a novel reflector material. The research is driven by the ongoing pursuit of enhanced PTC performance. A standard modeling approach was employed, utilizing Computational Fluid Dyna… Show more
