Good Agreement

The principal features of a computer simulation used as a design tool for solar thermal receivers for paraboloidal dish collectors are described. Performance predictions derived from this model are outlined and compared with experiments on two receiver designs testing the overall thermal performance and the flux distribution. It is shown that predicted performance is in good agreement and that the model is suitable for design purposes.

Solar Thermal Power

In the present study, a specific and simple second law based exergoeconomic model with instant access to the production costs is introduced. The model is generalized for a case study of Shiraz solar thermal power plant with parabolic collectors for nominal power supply of 500 kW. Its applications include the evaluation of utility costs such as products or supplies of production plant, the energy costs between process operations of an energy converter such as production of an industry. Also attempt is made to minimize objective function including investment cost of the equipments and cost of exergy destruction for finding optimum operating condition for such plant.
