Influence of non-uniform heat flux distributions on the secondary flow, convective heat transfer and friction factors for a parabolic trough solar collector type absorber tube

Okafor, Izuchukwu F.; Dirker, Jaco; Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2017-08)

Non-uniform heat flux profiles on circular tubes are found in a number of heat transfer applications, including solar heating. In this numerical study the influence of the circumferential angle spans of non-uniform heat ...
Minimum entropy generation due to heat transfer and fluid friction in a parabolic trough receiver with non-uniform heat flux at different rim angles and concentration ratios

Numerical investigation of entropy generation in a parabolic trough receiver at different concentration ratios

Mwesigye, Aggrey; Bello-Ochende, Tunde; Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2013)

This paper presents results of a numerical analysis of entropy generation in a parabolic trough receiver at different concentration ratios, inlet temperatures and flow rates. Using temperature dependent thermal properties ...
