Analytical and experimental work on nanofluid based parabolic trough solar collector

Abstract

Thanks to the technology and invention which has helped in setting the breakthrough for exploring the energy sources The energy utilization starts from basic needs but due to technological development updated industrial process and people moving towards ergonomic satisfaction the energy demand rate is growing very fast day by day The fast rate of conventional energy consumption leads the source to vanishing status It is understood that after a short period of time nature will shows the red card ie no more energy will be available from conventional source which is currently and widely used for a long time Hence this is the right time to explore and utilize the renewable energy of various forms At this juncture nature shows the green signal to utilize it Even though the technological advancement and new invention reduces the energy utilization this opportunity is unbiased by the quantity of utilization Only renewable source of energy helps at this critical time Among many types of non conventional or renewable energy sources the researchers and scientists have ensured that solar energy is the best which can be used by common people for their daily thermal and electrical requirements Solar energy is utilized to produce hot water and electricity For the purpose of acquiring the solar energy collectors thermal and photovoltaic cells electrical are used Among various collectors parabolic trough type collector PTSC is one which comes under the concentrating type collector and also the most mature technology in way of acquiring solar energy newline
