Optimisation of heat transfer in the absorber tube of a cylindroparabolic trough solar collector

This study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to optimise heat transfer in cylindro-parabolic solar collectors (CPCs) by comparing an elliptical absorber tube with a conventional circular design under turbulent flow and uniform heat flux conditions. The CFD simulations are validated against...
