Journal ArticleDOI
Heat transfer analysis and numerical simulation of a parabolic trough solar collector
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed numerical heat transfer model based on the finite volume method for these equipment is presented, where the different elements of the receiver are discretised into several segments in both axial and azimuthal directions and energy balances are applied for each control volume.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances on nanofluids for low to medium temperature solar collectors: energy, exergy, economic analysis and environmental impact
Zafar Said,Ahmed Amine Hachicha,Sadegh Aberoumand,Bashria A.A. Yousef,Enas Taha Sayed,Enas Taha Sayed,Evangelos Bellos +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of different forces in nanofluid flows that exist in particulate flows such as drag, lift (Magnus and Saffman), Brownian, thermophoretic, Van der Waals, electrostatic double layer forces are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of dust on the performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems under United Arab Emirates weather conditions
TL;DR: In this article, experimental investigations were carried out to understand the dust characteristics and its effect on the electrical performance of PV modules under Sharjah, UAE weather conditions, and the results of the indoor experiments reveal a linear relationship between the dust density and the normalized PV power with a drop of 1.7% per g/m2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing the performance of automotive radiators using nanofluids
Zafar Said,M. El Haj Assad,Ahmed Amine Hachicha,Evangelos Bellos,Mohammad Ali Abdelkareem,Mohammad Ali Abdelkareem,Duha Zeyad Alazaizeh,Bashria A.A. Yousef +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles dispersed in distilled water (DW) and ethylene glycol (EG) at 50:50 volumetric proportions was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review study on the modeling of high-temperature solar thermal collector systems
TL;DR: This review aims to summarize the state-of-the-art modeling approaches used to simulate, predict and evaluate the optical, thermal and dynamic performance of high-temperature solar thermal collectors and could serve as a guideline to develop new models for future trends in concentrating solar technologies.
