โฆ Synopsis
Abstrac~In this paper an empirical relation for finding out an overall heat loss coefficient in the case of an evacuated tubular collector has been developed for all possible range of variables and values compared with the analytically calculated values. A good agreement between the two has been obtained. The transient analysis for time dependent input functions for a single tube has been extended to the system as a whole when the modules are connected in different combinations such as in series, parallel, 2AT, 3AT~ 4AT, steps etc.

Steady analysis of an evacuated tubular collector fixed at the focus of a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) has been developed to obtain the performance equations of HWB type for such a collector system. Unlike previous studies, the effect of vacuum leak on the performance has been studied. Nume
This paper presents transient analysis of an evacuated tubular solar collector. Basic energy balance equations for the glass envelope, the absorber and the fluid are solved using the finite difference technique to predict the various component temperatures as a function of time. Four versions of the
