Parabolic concentrator is used to utilize the solar energy for heating purpose. Thermal tests are performed on concentrator at different time periods and at different masses to find the variation in the optical efficiency and heat loss factor. The results verified by graphical test can be used to design the concentrator for the desired output. It was found that the system gave almost the same values of optical efficiency, for the various masses of water on different days. The value of optical efficiency factor increases slightly by reducing the mass of water. The value of optical efficiency for the parabolic concentrator is obtained as 35%. |
