Since the last decades, solar energy has been used worldwide to overcome foreign
dependency on crude oil and to control the pollution due to a limited source of non …

Solar energy provides desired thermal energy for diverse applications, including industrial
heating, domestic cooking, power generation, desalination, and agri-food preservation …

This paper presents a validated TRNSYS model for forced circulation solar water heating
systems used in temperate climates. The systems consist of two flat plate collectors (FPC) …

In the present study, the effect of wickless heat pipe cross section geometry and its working
fluid filling ratio on the performance of flat plate solar collectors has been investigated …

PTCs are the preferred type of collector used for steam generation, due to their ability to
work at high temperatures with high efficiencies. The results produced from a simulation …

A U-type natural circulation heat pipe system is designed and applied to a parabolic trough
solar collector for generating mid-temperature steam. Thermal performance of the heat pipe …

The transient thermal behaviour of wickless heat pipe flat plate solar collectors has been
analyzed with regard to various parameters. These parameters include global solar …

This paper presents a year round energy performance monitoring results of a new type of
domestic solar water heating system (DSWH) based on evacuated tube collector (ETC) …

In the present study, a two-phase closed thermosyphon flat-plate solar collector with a shell
and tube heat exchanger was investigated experimentally under the field conditions of …

In this work, a wickless heat pipes flat plate solar collector with a cross flow heat exchanger
was investigated theoretically and experimentally under the meteorological conditions of …
