Numerical study of circumferential temperature difference reduction at the absorber tube of parabolic trough direct steam generation collector by inserting a twisted tape in superheated region

The present numerical simulation investigates the influence of a twisted tape inserts on circumferential temperature difference reduction and heat transfer enhancement in the absorber tube of parabolic trough collector. The effect of twisted tape geometrical parameters and the Reynolds number on the...
