investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Design and Optical Performance of Compound Parabolic Solar Concentrators with Evacuated Tube as Receivers
Abstract: In the present article, six symmetric compound parabolic solar concentrators (CPCs) with all-glass evacuated solar tubes (EST) as the receiver are designed, and a comparative study on their optical performance is performed based on theoretical analysis and ray-tracing simulations. In terms of optical loss through gaps of CPCs and optical efficiency averaged for radiation over the acce...
متن کاملModelling of Compound Parabolic Concentrators for Photovoltaic Applications
In this paper ways of using compound parabolic concentrators as primary optical elements for concentrated photovoltaics are evaluated. The problems related to these classical non-imaging optical elements for photovoltaics applications have been evaluated by modelling different types of linear and point focus concentrators. Particular consideration is given to the issues of manufacturability and...
متن کاملRay-tracing simulation of parabolic compound refractive lenses
X-ray compound refractive lenses (CRL) are becoming a widespread tool for the generation of microfocus spot sizes at synchrotron beamlines. The calculation of their performance by means of ray-tracing is useful for a rapid estimation of flux, resolution and focusing properties achievable in a beamline, when other optics are present, or simply to study the lens acceptance and focusing in the pre...
متن کاملInactivation of Fecal coliforms during solar and photocatalytic disinfection by zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs)
Water samples of 0, 50, and 100 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) spiked with fecal coliforms (107 CFU/ml) were exposed to natural sunshine in 1l quartz glass tubes fitted with rectors’ compound parabolic concentrators CPCS at two forms CPC1 (whit nanoparticle zinc oxide) and CPC2(without nanoparticle zinc oxide). The samples were characterized using the X-ray...
