Published at Applied Thermal Engineering – On the improvement of the thermal performance of longitudinally finned parabolic trough solar receivers

Abstract: The parabolic trough collector remains one of the most extensively deployed technologies for concentrating solar power and heating. Enhancing the thermal performance of the receiver tube, which is its core component, is critical for improving overall system efficiency. Longitudinal fins represent a simple and cost-effective method for augmenting heat transfer within the receiver. However, …
