Analysis and design of a cylindrical parabolic solar collector

A cylindrical-parabolic solar collector was thermally optimized for a winter season using a weather model and an extension of the present state-of-the-art collector theory. An accurate model for the cover transmittance and a seasonal performance model was developed. The optimum collector dimensions...
