Numerical analysis of absorber tube shapes in PCM-integrated parabolic trough solar collectors
This study examines the impact of absorber tube geometry on the thermal performance of parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) integrated with phase change materials (PCMs). Addressing a research gap, it compares circular, elliptical, and pear-shaped absorber tubes using solar salt as PCM and water as th...
