A theoretical numerical model of thermal transfer in a line-axis, symmetric, compound parabolic concentrating solar energy collector (CPC) is presented. The effect of the angle of axial inclination of an east-west aligned CPC and hence the effect of the latitudinal and tracking configuration of the

In small size ponds, the shading by the side walls affects the collection and storage of energy. In this work, the influence of aspect ratio, pond size, convective-zone thickness and the bottom surface reflectivity on the collection and storage of solar energy are examined analytically, and the rela
The flow distributions through the absorber tubes of a CPC collector are analysed for both E-W and N-S alignments of the collector. It is shown that the flow distribution is non-uniform in an E-W alignment, compared with a close approximation to a uniform distribution for the N-S alignment. However,
