Present trends on solar thermal systems for building integration define the need of integrated solar technologies for façades. The integration of solar systems in façades allows for the direct connection of solar systems to heated spaces, and automated air solar collectors based on the trombe-mitchell provide a suitable technology for its adoption...

Seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) can be utilized to cover a portion or meet the whole space and water heat demands in residential and commercial buildings. With the scarcity of fuel resources, scientists have become aware of the importance of the utilization of thermal energy. An STES system can be charged using solar collectors to heat a sto...
The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) coupled with a linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) utilizes a low-grade heat source. This article presents the study of a small-scale LFR-ORC power-generation plant under the climatic conditions of Almatret, Spain. The mathematical modelling is performed using thermodynamic equations and simulations are conducted to evalu...
Purpose
Because of its increased absorptance in fluid and reduced heat loss, direct absorption nanofluid (DANF) is receiving intense interest as an efficient way to harvest solar energy. This work aims to investigate, for the first time, the application of DANF in parabolic trough collectors (PTC), a promising collector for solar thermal systems....
Solar intensity, collector design and its orientation are the key parameters that affect the performance of any solar collector. This work presents mathematical modelling of solar radiation for studying the effects of collector slope angle on the radiation falling on a solar collector and the determination of the collector optimum slope angle for K...
Solar thermal energy collector can be described as an energy balance between the solar energy absorbed by the collector and the thermal energy removed or lost from the collector. If no alternative mechanism is provided for removal of thermal energy, the collector receiver heat loss must equal the absorbed solar Energy. In this project, focus on the...

... They exist under two principal configurations: concentrators and plane collectors. The latter, being able to use water or the air as thermal agent, are present in several research tasks [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], which relate to the optimization of the thermal effectiveness. The reduction of post-harvest losses can be obtained by using a modular solar drier, for which the air is preheated by the solar collectors.Thus there are several configurations of the plane solar collector with air, such as single glazing and double glazing with single pass or double passes.Preliminary studies have found that for a double glazing collector, the useful heat flux is greater than that of a single glazing unit [7,18]. ...
