| dc.description.abstract | The present work is concerned with the investigation of the performance of a parabolic trough collector in North Cyprus. The Feasibility of using this collector for the purpose of supplying hot steam in a solar thermal power plant has been the interest of energy policy makers recently. In order to optimize the performance of trough, a mathematical simulation was carried out displaying the temperature of the out flowing working fluid. The simulation results show that the temperature of the working fluid exiting a trough ranges from 80 0C to 115 0C during the summer months and is less than 80 0C during winter. This shows that using parabolic trough mirror for setting up a concentrating solar plant in North Cyprus is technically feasible. | en_US |
