Abstract Many innovative technologies have been developed around the world to meet its energy demands using renewable and nonrenewable resources. Solar is one of most important emerging resources in recent times. This study aims present state-of-the-art parabolic trough solar collector technology with a focus on different thermal performance analysis methods components used fabrication together construction materials their properties. Further, industrial applications (such as heating,...
The manufacture of medical and aerospace components made titanium alloys other difficult-to-cut materials requires the parallel development high performance cutting tools coated with capable enhanced tribological resistance properties. In this matter, a thin nanocomposite film out AlCrN (aluminum-chromium-nitride) was studied in research, showing experimental work deposition process its characterization. A heat-treated monolayer coating, competitive coatings machining alloys, analyzed....
The laminar forced convection has been investigated for the flow of nanofluids in conventional straight tube (L = 5.34 m, dt 10 mm) and microtube 0.3 0.5 under constant temperature heat flux conditions, separately. A wide range process parameters studied by varying three different type base fluids including water, ethylene glycol turbine oil with five nanoparticles viz. Al2O3, TiO2, CuO, SiO2 ZnO. Six combinations geometries, nanoparticle concentrations are considered present study. In...
Numerical simulations were carried out to assess the technical and economic feasibility of a solar water desalination system that has novel hybrid Concentrating Photovoltaic Thermal (CPVT) collector coupled with Vacuum Membrane Distillation (VMD) process. A special characteristic this CPVT is its triangular receiver PV cells facing reflecting surface. This type advantage generating more electricity less surface area great potential be used hybridize conventional parabolic thermal collectors....
In Mexico, a local enterprise has developed parabolic trough solar collector to produce thermal energy. This modular characteristics and it been installed in some industries around the country meet load for their processes or diminish consumption of fossil fuels. Besides this, university made computational program that predicts energy output system with this type collector. paper presents results two systems comparing experimental data.
The thermal, physical and morphological characteristics of dielectric insulating oil - based nanofluids were investigated. produced by the two-step method, homogeneously dispersing AlN TiO2 nanoparticles within mineral (MO). filler fraction 0.01, 0.10 0.50wt.%. Thermo-physical properties such as thermal conductivity viscosity measured. A comparison two nanofluids: non-modified surface nanoparticles, modified with oleic acid (OA) is presented shown to improve stability while preserving properties.
