Thermal performance and heat transfer enhancement of parabolic trough receivers – numerical investigation, thermodynamic and multi-objective optimisation

Parabolic trough systems are one of the most commercially and technically developed technologies for concentrated solar power. With the current research and development efforts, the cost of electricity from these systems is approaching the cost of electricity from medium-sized coal-fired power pl...
