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 electri...

This work aims to compare the cavity surface contour’s thermal performance that of solar absorber’s plain contour for Scheffler type parabolic dish collectors. The absorber is tested temperature range up 600°C without working fluid and 180°C with fluid. modified surface's compared flat heat transfer peak reached by (534°C) about 8.6% more than unmodified (492°C) during an outdoor test energy ef...

In today?s world, we are facing the problem of fossil fuel depletion along with its cost continuously increasing. Also, it is getting difficult to live in a pollution free environment. Solar energy one most abundantly and freely available form energy. Out various ways harness solar energy, thermal efficient as compared photovoltaic technology. There cycles convert mechanical work, but Kalina cy...
