ABSTRACT
In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to study the performance of a
parabolic trough collector (PTC). The proposed model consists of three parts. The first
part is a solar radiation model that used to estimate the amount of solar radiation
incident upon Earth by using equations and relationships between the sun and the Earth.
The second part is the optical model; This part has the ability to determine the optical
efficiency of PTC throughout the daytime. The last part is the thermal model. The aim
of this part is to estimate the amount of energy collected by different types of fluids and
capable to calculate the heat losses, thermal efficiency and the outlet temperature of
fluid. All heat balance equations and heat transfer mechanisms: conduction, convection,
and radiation, have been incorporated. The proposed model is implemented in
MATLAB. A new nanofluids like Water+PEO+1%CNT, PEO+1%CNT and
PEO+0.2%CUO where tested and were compared with conventional water and molten
salt during the winter and the summer to the city of Basra and good results were
obtained in improving the performance of the solar collector. The results explained both
the design and environmental parameters that effect on the performance of PTC.
Percentage of improvement in the thermal efficiency at the summer when using
nanofluids (Water+PEO+1%CNT, PEO+1%CNT and PEO+0.2%CUO) Nano fluids
are (19.68%, 17.47% and 15.1%) respectively compared to the water and (10.98%,
8.93% and 6.7%) respectively compared to the molten salt, as well as the percentage
decreases in the heat losses by using the Nano fluids through the vacuum space between
the receiver tube and the glass envelope compared with water (86 %, 76 % and 66 %)

1. INTRODUCTION
In terms of the impact of fossil fuels on the environment, the burning of fossil fuels and green
gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) will cause global warming and the outer environment.
Environmental and economic impacts have made the world a renewable energy source to
provide environmentally friendly energy and thus reduce reliance on fossil fuels as well as
reduce economic and environmental issues [1]. The solar collector is one of those thermal
technologies that rely on solar energy sources. An overview of the relevant available literature.
Heris et al (2006) [2] Experimental Investigation to improve the performance of pPTC1 by
nanofluid technology through add nanoparticles (AL2O3 and CuO) in water as base fluid
in different concentrations. The results of experimental show that for both nanofluid,
coefficient of heat transfer enhances through increasing concentrations of nanoparticles as well
as. But Al2O3 / water nanofluid show more enhancement compared with CuO/water nanofluid.
Concluded that transfer of heat improvement by nanofluid depends on several factors involving
increase of thermal conductivity, nanoparticles chaotic movements, fluctuations and
interactions. Experimental data and model predictions indicated that there is a good
arrangement with an average error of 5 % and maximum error of 14% using water as working
fluid in the range of (25-75 C). Yousefi et al (2012) [5] studied the effects of Al2O3
nanoparticles addition to the water for a PTCS with different concentration rates to enhance
performance of PTC. Observed a 028.3% improvement in the collector’s efficiency by addition
of (0.20 wt%) nanoparticles sin comparisons to pure water. De Risi et al (2013) [6] studied the
improvement of solar system performance by mixing nanoparticles (0.25%CUO and 0.05 Ni)
with water also studied the effect of volumetric flow, solar radiation and nanoparticle volume
concentration on the thermal efficiency at used mixing fluid. Concluded that efficiency reaches
its maximum value of 62.5% Nanofluid has improved performance compared with
conventional fluids such as oil and molten salt.
Islam et al 2015[7] Studied simulation and design of the (PTC) to enhance the thermal
efficiency of the (pPTC) through the effect of the parameters such as, collector aperture area,
heat removal factor and mass flow rate on the thermal efficiency of PTC by using three fluids
(nitrogen, ammonia and carbon dioxide) were used as a working fluid and with a different mass
flow rate (0.0362 kg/s, 0.0192 kg/s, 0.0491 kg/s) respectively. Concluded that the mass flow
rate significantly affected the efficiency of the PTC. The final result was found to be high
efficiency when using carbon dioxide (67.22%) comparable with ammonia (66.81%) and
nitrogen (67.05%). Ghasemi et al (2016) [8] Studied the enhancements of the performances of
the parabolic trough solar collector by utilization of CuO and Al2O3 nanoparticles dispersed in
water for parabolic trough solar collector. Proved enhancements into the coefficient of heats
transfers close to 028% for Cuo and too 035% for Al2O3. Conclude when using Al2O3, the
coefficient of heat transfer enhancement better from used CuO. Mirza Abdullah (2017) [9]
used two types nanofluids include (Al2O3/H2O and Fe2O3/H2O) as a working fluid with different
concentration rates (0.20%, 00.25% and 00.30% by weight at 11.0, 11.5 and 02.0 Lr/min flow
rates) to improve the performance of the solar collector. Conclude the maximums efficiencies
achieved with Al2O3 and Fe2O3 nanofluids at 2 L/min are 13% and 11 % higher respectively
compared too waters under same operating conditions. TagleeSalazar et al (2018) [10] studied
the theoretical and experimental of the heat transfer model for thermal performance analysis of
a parabolic troughs solar collectors using nanofluids (Al2O3/water nanofluid with 1% of volume
concentration). The effect of the intensity of solar radiation on this efficiency was studied by
increasing the intensity of solar radiation. The thermal efficiency increases until it reaches its
maximum value (61.1%) when the value of solar radiation (905.3 W/m2
). Mwesigye et al

addition single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to the working fluid (Therminol®VP-1)
to increase the thermal conductivity of the fluid It was concluded from this study that the
addition of (SWCNTs) to (Therminol®VP-1) this improved the heat transfer, which in turn led
to improved thermal efficiency by 4.4%. The table 1.1 shows the heat transfer fluids used by
former researchers in the PTC field.

Based on literature survey was focused on parabolic trough collectors, the review of the
relevant published works found in the open literature had led us to conclude the following the
researcher focused on performance analysis that include three fields of studies that are:
performance evaluation, technique and using of different types of working fluid. First field
study the analysis of the energy, exergy, environment (ambient temperature, solar irradiance,
wind speed and sky temperature) and economic (4E) and the effect parameters (such as mass
flow rates and biomass fuel) to improve the performance off the parabolic trough collectors.
And other field studies the techniques to enhance the performance of PTC. Such as, Change

The third part off the model represents thermal analysis. The purpose of this part is to predict
the value of external fluid temperature, thermal efficiency, heat gain and all heat losses of the
solar collector.
2.1. Solar radiation Model
This model focus of calculation of solar angles like the sun altitude angle, sun azimuths angle,
declinations angle, hour angle and incident angle. Using the input data, the selected location. In
this model the calculate of extraterrestrial radiation, it can be defined as the amount of energy

Beam radiation Ib can be expressed for moving surfaces as it follows [33] [22]:
𝐼 𝑏 = 𝐼 𝑏𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 (4)
Where 𝐼 𝑏 is beam radiation in the direction of the rays, 𝜃 is angle of incidence.
Therefore, the insolation becomes with

2.3. Thermal modeling of a parabolic trough collector
The objective of the thermal model is to predict thermal efficiency, outlet temperature, heat
gain and all heat losses of the solar collector. The performance of the thermal solvent depends
on the balance of energy between the fluid transfer of heat and atmosphere. Figure 4 shows the
typical absorber used for PTC. Figure 5a [27] shows the proposed one-dimensional steady-state
energy balance for a cross-section of selected absorber with the glass envelope intact, while
Figure 6b [27] shows the thermals resistance model used and subscript definitions. The model
assumes that all temperatures, heat fluxes, and thermodynamic properties are uniform around
the circumference of the receiver. This is not very true as the radiation profile is not uniform,
and the bottom part receives much higher solar flux than the tops part

The incoming solar energy, which effectively is equal too the solar energy input minus
optical losses, is absorbed by the glass envelope (Qglass.go) and receiver pipe (Qrec.po). Most of
the energy that is absorbed by the receiver is conducted through the receiver pipe materials
(qpi−po.cond) and eventually transferred to the fluid by convections (qf−pi.conv). The remaining
energy is transmitted back to the glass envelope by convection (qpo−gi.conv) and radiations
(qpo−gi.rad). The energy reaching the glass cover from radiation and convection then passes
through the glass envelope wall by conduction (qgi−go.cond) and along with the energy absorbed
by the glass envelope wall (Qglass.go) is lost to the environment by convection to ambient air
(qgo−a.conv) and radiation towards the sky (qgo−s.rad) [26].
The energy balance equations are determined by considering that the energy is conserved
at each surface of the receiver cross section, shown in Figure 3.20. Therefore, the energy
balance equations:
𝑞 𝑝𝑖−𝑓.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 = 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑝𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 (14)
𝑄 𝑟𝑒𝑐.𝑝𝑜 = 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑝𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 + 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 (15)

𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑎.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑄 𝑔𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠.𝑔𝑜 + 𝑞 𝑔𝑖−𝑔𝑜.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 (17)
𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 + 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑟𝑎𝑑 (18)
𝑞 𝑟𝑒𝑐.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠.𝑝𝑡𝑐 = 𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑎.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 (19)
𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑎.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑎.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 + 𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑠.𝑟𝑎𝑑 (20)
2.3.1. Convection heat transfer between the inner absorber wall and the HTF
From Newton’s law of cooling, the convection heat transfer from the inside surface off the
absorber pipe to the HTF [29] can be given by:
𝑞 𝑓−𝑝𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 = ℎ 𝑓 𝐴 𝑝𝑖(𝑇𝑝𝑖 − 𝑇𝑓) (21)

laws of conduction [30]:

Thermal conductivity of the receiving tube depends on the type of material made of that
tube. There are three common types of pipes obtained from stainless steel (304L, 316L, and
321H). Table 3 shows the thermal properties of the three types of stainless steel.

2.3.3. Heat transfer from the absorber to the glass envelope
The heat transfer from the receiver pipe to the glass envelope is calculated by:
𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 + 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑟𝑎𝑑 (27)
2.3.3.2. Convection Heat Transfer
The convection heat transfer between the receiver pipes and glass envelope occurs by free-
molecular convection [31] and is given by
𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 = ℎ 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖 𝐴 𝑝𝑜(𝑇𝑝𝑜 − 𝑇𝑔𝑖) (28)

2.3.3.2. Radiation heat transfer
The relationship used for radiation heat transfer between the absorber pipe and the glass
envelope is developed by Cengel [32]:

In deriving this equation, many assumptions were developed:
• Long concentric isothermal cylinders
• Diffuse reflection and irradiations
• The glass envelope is opaque to infrared radiation
• Nonparticipating gas in the annulus
• Gray surfaces

2.3.4. Conduction heat transfer through the glass envelope
The relationship used for conduction heat transfer through the glass envelope is the similar
relationship described in section 2.3.2. Additionally, the thermal conductivity off the glass
envelope which is Pyrex glass is constant (x1.04 W/m K) [26].
qgi−go.cond =
2πkglass(Tgi−Tgo)
ln(Dgo Dgi⁄ )
(29)
2.3.5. Heat transfer from the glass envelope to the atmosphere
qgo−a.total = Qglass.go + qgi−go.cond (30)
Convection and radiation heat transfer occurs through the outer surface of the glass
envelope depending on whether there is wind. The below equation used to calculate such losses:
2.3.5.1. Convection heat transfer
According to Newton’s law of cooling, the convection heat transfer formula from the glass tube
to the ambient is given by [30]:
qgo−a.conv = hgo−aAgo(Tgo − Ta) (31)
Ago = πDgoL, The outside area of glass, the convection heat transfer coefficient for air, is
given bye:

2.3.7. Performance of PTSC.
The thermal efficiency of a PTSC can be defined as the ratio of heat gained by the collector, qu

(37)
Where the useful heat gained, is a function of the inlet and outlet temperature of the receiver
ass shown in the following expression [34]:
𝑞 𝑢 = m𝐶𝑝 𝑓(Tout − Tin) (38)
The useful heat collected by the receiver can also be expressed in terms of optical efficiency,
heat loss coefficient, heat removal factor, and receiver inlet temperature [35]:

(66.98%, 67.26%, 67.26%, 67.26% and 67.26%) sequentially. When increase the length of
HCE the thermal efficiency will decrease (56%, 62.27%, 64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%) at

(1366.7 KW, 703.7 KW, 461.8 KW, 319.9 KW and 186 KW). Because the increase in length
leads to increase the area exposed to solar radiation and thus lead to increase the energy
absorbed by the receiving tube and this causes the increase in temperature of the tube received
because of the difference between the temperature of the tube receiving and glass envelope,
leading to increase in the heat losses during the space between the receiving tube and the glass
envelope.
The effect of the width collector on the thermal efficiency was calculated by the use of these
fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and
Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid), The values of thermal efficiency are (56.07%, 60.47%,
64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%) sequentially When the width collector (1 m). When increase the
width to (5 m) the thermal efficiency values become (11.54%, 12.46%, 13.38%, 13.69% and
13.98%) sequentially. When increasing in width the thermal efficiency will begin to decrease
gradually due to the increase in the area exposed to solar radiation, leading to an increase in the
amount of heat losses.as shown in figure (10)
Figure (11) shows the effect of the width of collector on heat losses (qpo−gi.total) by the use
of these fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and
Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid), The values of (qpo−gi.total) are (1366.7 KW, 896.3 KW,
461.8 KW, 319.6 KW and 186.8 KW) Sequentially When the width collector (1m). When
increasing the width to (5 m) the heat losses (qpo−gi.total) they begin to increase gradually until
reached to (1500KW, 1008.3 KW, 521.1 KW, 356.1 KW and 197.5 KW) sequentially. The
increase in the width of collector leads to an increase in these losses because of the energy
absorbed by the receiving tube that is larger than the energy absorbed by the glass envelope.
This in turn causes a difference in temperature between the receiving tube and the glass
envelope.
Figure (12) illustration the influences of the thickness of the glass envelope on the thermal
efficiency, when the Thickness of the receiver tube is (5mm) the thermal efficiency of the fluids
(Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and
Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) is (56.07%, 62.27%, 64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%)
sequentially. When the thickness of the glass envelope increases to (11 mm), the thermal
efficiency of the fluids begins to decrease to the values (51.4%, 56.48%, 58.02%, 58.86% and
59.59%) respectively. In the case of increasing the thickness of the glass lead to decrease in the
intensity of solar radiation received by the receiving tube and thus will reduce the thermal
efficiency of the solar collector.
Figure (13) expression influences of the thickness of the glass envelope on the heat losses
(qpo−gi.total), using the fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT
Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) the heat losses (qpo−gi.total) when the glass
thickness is (5 mm) are (1366.7 KW,703.7 KW,461.8 KW,319.6 KW and 186.8 KW)
respectively. When the thickness of the glass increases to (11 mm), the losses of using the fluids
decreases to the (1036.1 KW, 492.7 KW, 328.6 KW, 238.5 KW and 160.7 KW) respectively.
Increasing the thickness of the glass as mentioned previously reduces the value of solar
radiation absorbed by the glass and thus reduces those losses.

/s) the thermal efficiency of the fluids (Water, Molten salt,
PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid)
is (56.07%, 60.47%, 64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%) respectively. If the volumetric flow rate is
increased to (0.0001386m3
/s), the thermal efficiency is (65.02%, 69.42%, 73.49%, 74.82% and
76.06%) respectively. Increased volumetric flow leads to increased thermal gain due to
increased flow mass and this in turn leads to increased thermal efficiency. The thermal

efficiency of water is relatively small compared to the other fluids because the heat gain of the
water is low.
Figure (15) and (4.66) expression effect of the volumetric flow rate on the heat losses
(qpo−gi.total), when the FL is (0.000063 m3
/s) the heat losses of the fluids (Water, Molten salt,
PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid)
is (1366.7 KW, 896.3 KW, 461.8 KW, 319.6 KW and 186.8 KW) respectively. If the volumetric
flow rate is increased to (0.0001386m3
/s), the heat losses (qpo−gi.total) is (410.4 KW, -60KW,
-494.5 KW, -636.7 KW and -796.5 KW) respectively. The heat losses decrease when the
volumetric flow rate increases, leading to an increase in the flow mass. Thus, thermal gain
increases and decreases loss.
The local time of the factors is very significant in solar energy because it clearly affects the
performance of solar collector including efficiency, external temperature, heat loss as well as
heat gain. And most researchers studied this factor and its impact on the performance of the
PTC.

(Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and
Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) begins to increase gradually as time increases due to the
gradual increase in the intensity of solar radiation until it reaches the peak at (13.45 p.m.)
(56.07%, 62.27%, 64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%) respectively. After (13.45 p.m.) the thermal
efficiency begins to decline gradually due to the gradual decrease in the intensity of solar
radiation. When increasing the intensity of solar radiation, the heat absorbed by the receiving
tube increases, which in turn increases, the efficiency of the solar collector

the summer the heat losses of the fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid,

as time rises due to the gradual increase in the intensity of solar radiation until it reaches the
peak at (13.45 p.m.) (1366.7 KW, 703.73 KW, 461.82 KW, 319.61 KW and 186.81 KW)
respectively. In the case of increasing the intensity of solar radiation, the absorbed energy is
increased by the glass envelope and the received tube, as a result of the difference between the
energy absorbed by the glass envelope and the receiving tube, this results in a difference
between the temperature of the receiving tube and the glass. This loss is caused by temperature
difference. The table 7, shows the percentage decreases in the heat loss through the vacuum
space between the receiver tube and the glass envelope compared with water and molten salt.

using the Nano fluids are much less than the use of water and molten salt. The heat transfer by
the conductivity through the receiving tube and heat gain using the Nano fluids are greater than
in the case of using water and molten salt. When the length of HCE increasing the heat losses
(convection and radiation) during the vacuum space between the receiving tube and the glass
envelope by using the Nano fluids are much less than the use of water and molten salt.
As final, the (Water+EPO+1%CNT) nanofluid the suggested nanofluids have a good impact
to improve the performance of PTC and can use in large scale for industry using.

Hadi and Mahmood S. Jamel Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Basra, Iraq ABSTRACT In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to study the performance of a parabolic trough collector (PTC). The proposed model consists of three parts. The first part is a solar radiation model that used to estimate the amount of solar radiation incident upon Earth by using equations and relationships between the sun and the Earth. The second part is the optical model; This part has the ability to determine the optical efficiency of PTC throughout the daytime. The last part is the thermal model. The aim of this part is to estimate the amount of energy collected by different types of fluids and capable to calculate the heat losses, thermal efficiency and the outlet temperature of fluid. All heat balance equations and heat transfer mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation, have been incorporated. The proposed model is implemented in MATLAB.

Effect of the design and environment parameters on the thermal efficiency and heat losses of a parabolic trough solar collector using nanofluid technology http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 573 editor@iaeme.com 1. INTRODUCTION In terms of the impact of fossil fuels on the environment, the burning of fossil fuels and green gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) will cause global warming and the outer environment. Environmental and economic impacts have made the world a renewable energy source to provide environmentally friendly energy and thus reduce reliance on fossil fuels as well as reduce economic and environmental issues [1]. The solar collector is one of those thermal technologies that rely on solar energy sources. An overview of the relevant available literature. Heris et al (2006) [2] Experimental Investigation to improve the performance of pPTC1 by nanofluid technology through add nanoparticles (AL2O3 and CuO) in water as base fluid in different concentrations. The results of experimental show that for both nanofluid, coefficient of heat transfer enhances through increasing concentrations of nanoparticles as well as. But Al2O3 / water nanofluid show more enhancement compared with CuO/water nanofluid. Concluded that transfer of heat improvement by nanofluid depends on several factors involving increase of thermal conductivity, nanoparticles chaotic movements, fluctuations and interactions. Experimental data and model predictions indicated that there is a good arrangement with an average error of 5 % and maximum error of 14% using water as working fluid in the range of (25-75 C). Yousefi et al (2012) [5] studied the effects of Al2O3 nanoparticles addition to the water for a PTCS with different concentration rates to enhance performance of PTC. Observed a 028.3% improvement in the collector’s efficiency by addition of (0.20 wt%) nanoparticles sin comparisons to pure water. De Risi et al (2013) [6] studied the improvement of solar system performance by mixing nanoparticles (0.25%CUO and 0.05 Ni) with water also studied the effect of volumetric flow, solar radiation and nanoparticle volume concentration on the thermal efficiency at used mixing fluid. Concluded that efficiency reaches its maximum value of 62.5% Nanofluid has improved performance compared with conventional fluids such as oil and molten salt. Islam et al 2015[7] Studied simulation and design of the (PTC) to enhance the thermal efficiency of the (pPTC) through the effect of the parameters such as, collector aperture area, heat removal factor and mass flow rate on the thermal efficiency of PTC by using three fluids (nitrogen, ammonia and carbon dioxide) were used as a working fluid and with a different mass flow rate (0.0362 kg/s, 0.0192 kg/s, 0.0491 kg/s) respectively. Concluded that the mass flow rate significantly affected the efficiency of the PTC. The final result was found to be high efficiency when using carbon dioxide (67.22%) comparable with ammonia (66.81%) and nitrogen (67.05%). Ghasemi et al (2016) [8] Studied the enhancements of the performances of the parabolic trough solar collector by utilization of CuO and Al2O3 nanoparticles dispersed in water for parabolic trough solar collector. Proved enhancements into the coefficient of heats transfers close to 028% for Cuo and too 035% for Al2O3. Conclude when using Al2O3, the coefficient of heat transfer enhancement better from used CuO. Mirza Abdullah (2017) [9] used two types nanofluids include (Al2O3/H2O and Fe2O3/H2O) as a working fluid with different concentration rates (0.20%, 00.25% and 00.30% by weight at 11.0, 11.5 and 02.0 Lr/min flow rates) to improve the performance of the solar collector. Conclude the maximums efficiencies achieved with Al2O3 and Fe2O3 nanofluids at 2 L/min are 13% and 11 % higher respectively compared too waters under same operating conditions. TagleeSalazar et al (2018) [10] studied the theoretical and experimental of the heat transfer model for thermal performance analysis of a parabolic troughs solar collectors using nanofluids (Al2O3/water nanofluid with 1% of volume concentration). The effect of the intensity of solar radiation on this efficiency was studied by increasing the intensity of solar radiation. The thermal efficiency increases until it reaches its maximum value (61.1%) when the value of solar radiation (905.3 W/m2 ). Mwesigye et al (2018) [11] investigated of the thermal performance of the parabolic trough solar collector in

First field study the analysis of the energy, exergy, environment (ambient temperature, solar irradiance, wind speed and sky temperature) and economic (4E) and the effect parameters (such as mass flow rates and biomass fuel) to improve the performance off the parabolic trough collectors. And other field studies the techniques to enhance the performance of PTC. Such as, Change the size of the receiver tubes, different materials such As Aluminum, half insulated annulus, single or double glass, twisted tape in the receiver tube, tracking system, metal tube with coating and Placed inside the absorption tubes hinged blades. In additional most of researchers focused in their study to utilize different working fluid as shown in table 1. As results from review, using a recent types of Nano fluids never been used previously in the field of PTC and the performance evaluation of parabolic trough solar collectors includes of thermal efficiency, outlet temperature, heat gain, all heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation) and all heat losses (convection and radiation) by using new types of Nano fluids. Not shown in pervious. In addition, comparison of the numerical results of nanofluids used in this research with conventional fluids is most commonly used in solar collectors, which include water and molten salt. 2.

The third part off the model represents thermal analysis. The purpose of this part is to predict the value of external fluid temperature, thermal efficiency, heat gain and all heat losses of the solar collector. 2.1. Solar radiation Model This model focus of calculation of solar angles like the sun altitude angle, sun azimuths angle, declinations angle, hour angle and incident angle. Using the input data, the selected location. In this model the calculate of extraterrestrial radiation, it can be defined as the amount of energy that is received for each time unit on the unit’s area of the verticals surface on the suns outside the Earth's atmosphere. Figure 1; which can be estimated applying the following equation [19]: I = 𝐼 𝑂(1 + 0.033 cos 360 365 n) (1) Figure 1 Extraterrestrial radiation during the year the relationship between the solar constant and extraterrestrial radiation Can also be evaluated using inverse square law [20]: I = 𝐼 𝑂( 𝐷 𝑜 D )2 (2) Where is the distance between the sun and the earth, D is the earth-sun average distance. The term ( 𝐷 𝑜 D ) can be determined as follows: ( 𝐷 𝑜 D )2 =1.00011+0.034221 cos B+0.001280 sin B+0.000719 cos 2B+0.000077 sin 2B And calculate the terrestrial radiation. In Figure 2.

Therefore, the insolation becomes with 𝐼𝑖𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 = 𝐼 𝑏𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 + 𝐼 𝑑 (5) 𝐼 𝑏𝑛 = 𝐴 𝑒𝑥𝑝[ −𝐵 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 ] (6) 𝐼𝑖𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 = 𝐼 𝑏𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 + 𝐼 𝑑 (7) A, B and C are constants which change throughout the year due to seasonal changing off waters vapors and dusts contention they earth’s atmospheres. These constants have given by Threlkeldd andjJordan and revised bye Iqbal [22]. 2.2.

Incident Angle Modifier Losses The losses related with the IAM are approximately calculated as follows: IAM = cos θ (1 + sin3 θ) (13) 2.3. Thermal modeling of a parabolic trough collector The objective of the thermal model is to predict thermal efficiency, outlet temperature, heat gain and all heat losses of the solar collector. The performance of the thermal solvent depends on the balance of energy between the fluid transfer of heat and atmosphere. Figure 4 shows the typical absorber used for PTC. Figure 5a [27] shows the proposed one-dimensional steady-state energy balance for a cross-section of selected absorber with the glass envelope intact, while Figure 6b [27] shows the thermals resistance model used and subscript definitions. The model assumes that all temperatures, heat fluxes, and thermodynamic properties are uniform around the circumference of the receiver. This is not very true as the radiation profile is not uniform, and the bottom part receives much higher solar flux than the tops part Figure 4 Typical receiver used for PTC, [28].

  • 8. Ahmed I. Hadi and Mahmood S. Jamel http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 578 editor@iaeme.com The incoming solar energy, which effectively is equal too the solar energy input minus optical losses, is absorbed by the glass envelope (Qglass.go) and receiver pipe (Qrec.po). Most of the energy that is absorbed by the receiver is conducted through the receiver pipe materials (qpi−po.cond) and eventually transferred to the fluid by convections (qf−pi.conv). The remaining energy is transmitted back to the glass envelope by convection (qpo−gi.conv) and radiations (qpo−gi.rad). The energy reaching the glass cover from radiation and convection then passes through the glass envelope wall by conduction (qgi−go.cond) and along with the energy absorbed by the glass envelope wall (Qglass.go) is lost to the environment by convection to ambient air (qgo−a.conv) and radiation towards the sky (qgo−s.rad) [26]. The energy balance equations are determined by considering that the energy is conserved at each surface of the receiver cross section, shown in Figure 3.20. Therefore, the energy balance equations: 𝑞 𝑝𝑖−𝑓.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 = 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑝𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 (14) 𝑄 𝑟𝑒𝑐.𝑝𝑜 = 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑝𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 + 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 (15) 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑞 𝑔𝑖−𝑔𝑜.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 (16) 𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑎.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑄 𝑔𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠.𝑔𝑜 + 𝑞 𝑔𝑖−𝑔𝑜.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 (17) 𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 + 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑟𝑎𝑑 (18) 𝑞 𝑟𝑒𝑐.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠.𝑝𝑡𝑐 = 𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑎.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 (19) 𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑎.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑎.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 + 𝑞 𝑔𝑜−𝑠.𝑟𝑎𝑑 (20) 2.3.1. Convection heat transfer between the inner absorber wall and the HTF From Newton’s law of cooling, the convection heat transfer from the inside surface off the absorber pipe to the HTF [29] can be given by: 𝑞 𝑓−𝑝𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 = ℎ 𝑓 𝐴 𝑝𝑖(𝑇𝑝𝑖 − 𝑇𝑓) (21) Where, ℎ 𝑓 = 𝑁𝑢 𝑓 𝑘 𝑓 𝐷 𝑝𝑖 (22) 𝑁𝑢 𝑚𝑠 = 𝑓 𝑝𝑖 8(𝑅𝑒 𝐷 𝑝𝑖 −1000)𝑃𝑟 𝑓 1+12.7√ 𝑓 𝑝𝑖 8⁄ (𝑃𝑟 𝑓 2 3⁄ −1) ( 𝑃𝑟 𝑓 𝑃𝑟 𝑝𝑖 ) 0.11 (23) Where, ReDpi = ρfVf νf DPi (24) 𝑓𝑝𝑖 = [1.82 𝑙𝑜𝑔 𝑅𝑒 𝐷 𝑝𝑖 − 1.64] −2 (25) 2.3.2. Conduction heat transfer through the receiver pipe wall The conduction heat transfer correlation through a hollow cylinder is calculated by Fourier’s laws of conduction [30]:

There are three common types of pipes obtained from stainless steel (304L, 316L, and 321H). Table 3 shows the thermal properties of the three types of stainless steel.

Heat transfer from the absorber to the glass envelope The heat transfer from the receiver pipe to the glass envelope is calculated by: 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 = 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 + 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑟𝑎𝑑 (27) 2.3.3.2. Convection Heat Transfer The convection heat transfer between the receiver pipes and glass envelope occurs by free- molecular convection [31] and is given by 𝑞 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖.𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 = ℎ 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖 𝐴 𝑝𝑜(𝑇𝑝𝑜 − 𝑇𝑔𝑖) (28) While the heat transfer coefficient calculated by[25]: ℎ 𝑝𝑜−𝑔𝑖 = 𝑘 𝑠𝑡𝑑 𝐷 𝑝𝑜 2 𝑙𝑛( 𝐷 𝑔𝑖 𝐷 𝑝𝑜 ) +𝑏𝑀𝐷 𝑎( 𝐷 𝑝𝑜 𝐷 𝑔𝑖 +1) (29) Kstd=0.02551W/m., The molecular diameters of airs; MD=3.55x10-5 cm, the interaction coefficient b= 1.57 [26]. 2.3.3.2. Radiation heat transfer The relationship used for radiation heat transfer between the absorber pipe and the glass envelope is developed by Cengel [32]: qpo−gi.rad = σApo(Tpo 4 −Tgi 4 ) ( 1 εpo +( (1−εgi)Dpo εgiDgi )) (2.28) In deriving this equation, many assumptions were developed: • Long concentric isothermal cylinders • Diffuse reflection and irradiations • The glass envelope is opaque to infrared radiation • Nonparticipating gas in the annulus • Gray surfaces

Conduction heat transfer through the glass envelope The relationship used for conduction heat transfer through the glass envelope is the similar relationship described in section 2.3.2. Additionally, the thermal conductivity off the glass envelope which is Pyrex glass is constant (x1.04 W/m K) [26]. qgi−go.cond = 2πkglass(Tgi−Tgo) ln(Dgo Dgi⁄ ) (29) 2.3.5. Heat transfer from the glass envelope to the atmosphere qgo−a.total = Qglass.go + qgi−go.cond (30) Convection and radiation heat transfer occurs through the outer surface of the glass envelope depending on whether there is wind. The below equation used to calculate such losses: 2.3.5.1. Convection heat transfer According to Newton’s law of cooling, the convection heat transfer formula from the glass tube to the ambient is given by [30]: qgo−a.conv = hgo−aAgo(Tgo − Ta) (31) Ago = πDgoL, The outside area of glass, the convection heat transfer coefficient for air, is given bye: hgo−a = NuDgo kair Dgo (32) The Nusselt number in this case is estimated with Zhukauskas correlation for external forced convection flown normal to an isothermal cylinder [27]: NuDgo = CReDgo m Pra n ( Prair Prgo ) 1 4 (33) For the conditions: 0.7 < Pra < 500 and 1 < ReDgo < 106 The constants Cm and m are given in below, while the constant n is equal to 0.37 for Pr ≤ 100 and is equals to 0.360 for Pr > 100 [30] The values of C1 and 2m are given in Table 4.

RESULTS AND DISCISSION In this section, the effect of local time on the performance of the PTC In summer on 15 July 2018 to the city of Basra is located on the latitude and longitude (30o 30’56.0"N, 47o 39’44.9"E).by using Nano fluids such as a work fluids. Nano fluids were compared with conventional fluids that are more commonly used in solar collectors. Figure (8) shows the effect of the length of the HCE on the thermal efficiency during the summer. When the length is (5m) the thermal efficiency of five fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO +0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) is (66.98%, 67.26%, 67.26%, 67.26% and 67.26%) sequentially. When increase the length of HCE the thermal efficiency will decrease (56%, 62.27%, 64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%) at length (50 m). The table 6, shows the percentage enhance in the thermal efficiency compared with water and molten salt. Table 6 Percentage enhance in the thermal efficiency compared with water and molten salt.

Because the increase in length leads to increase the area exposed to solar radiation and thus lead to increase the energy absorbed by the receiving tube and this causes the increase in temperature of the tube received because of the difference between the temperature of the tube receiving and glass envelope, leading to increase in the heat losses during the space between the receiving tube and the glass envelope. The effect of the width collector on the thermal efficiency was calculated by the use of these fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid), The values of thermal efficiency are (56.07%, 60.47%, 64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%) sequentially When the width collector (1 m). When increase the width to (5 m) the thermal efficiency values become (11.54%, 12.46%, 13.38%, 13.69% and 13.98%) sequentially. When increasing in width the thermal efficiency will begin to decrease gradually due to the increase in the area exposed to solar radiation, leading to an increase in the amount of heat losses.as shown in figure (10) Figure (11) shows the effect of the width of collector on heat losses (qpo−gi.total) by the use of these fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid), The values of (qpo−gi.total) are (1366.7 KW, 896.3 KW, 461.8 KW, 319.6 KW and 186.8 KW) Sequentially When the width collector (1m). When increasing the width to (5 m) the heat losses (qpo−gi.total) they begin to increase gradually until reached to (1500KW, 1008.3 KW, 521.1 KW, 356.1 KW and 197.5 KW) sequentially. The increase in the width of collector leads to an increase in these losses because of the energy absorbed by the receiving tube that is larger than the energy absorbed by the glass envelope. This in turn causes a difference in temperature between the receiving tube and the glass envelope. Figure (12) illustration the influences of the thickness of the glass envelope on the thermal efficiency, when the Thickness of the receiver tube is (5mm) the thermal efficiency of the fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) is (56.07%, 62.27%, 64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%) sequentially. When the thickness of the glass envelope increases to (11 mm), the thermal efficiency of the fluids begins to decrease to the values (51.4%, 56.48%, 58.02%, 58.86% and 59.59%) respectively. In the case of increasing the thickness of the glass lead to decrease in the intensity of solar radiation received by the receiving tube and thus will reduce the thermal efficiency of the solar collector. Figure (13) expression influences of the thickness of the glass envelope on the heat losses (qpo−gi.total), using the fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) the heat losses (qpo−gi.total) when the glass thickness is (5 mm) are (1366.7 KW,703.7 KW,461.8 KW,319.6 KW and 186.8 KW) respectively. When the thickness of the glass increases to (11 mm), the losses of using the fluids decreases to the (1036.1 KW, 492.7 KW, 328.6 KW, 238.5 KW and 160.7 KW) respectively. Increasing the thickness of the glass as mentioned previously reduces the value of solar radiation absorbed by the glass and thus reduces those losses. Figure (14) expression effect of the volumetric flow rate (FL) on the thermal efficiency, when the FL is (0.000063 m3 /s) the thermal efficiency of the fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) is (56.07%, 60.47%, 64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%) respectively. If the volumetric flow rate is increased to (0.0001386m3 /s), the thermal efficiency is (65.02%, 69.42%, 73.49%, 74.82% and 76.06%) respectively. Increased volumetric flow leads to increased thermal gain due to increased flow mass and this in turn leads to increased thermal efficiency. The thermal

Effect of the design and environment parameters on the thermal efficiency and heat losses of a parabolic trough solar collector using nanofluid technology http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 585 editor@iaeme.com efficiency of water is relatively small compared to the other fluids because the heat gain of the water is low. Figure (15) and (4.66) expression effect of the volumetric flow rate on the heat losses (qpo−gi.total), when the FL is (0.000063 m3 /s) the heat losses of the fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) is (1366.7 KW, 896.3 KW, 461.8 KW, 319.6 KW and 186.8 KW) respectively. If the volumetric flow rate is increased to (0.0001386m3 /s), the heat losses (qpo−gi.total) is (410.4 KW, -60KW, -494.5 KW, -636.7 KW and -796.5 KW) respectively. The heat losses decrease when the volumetric flow rate increases, leading to an increase in the flow mass. Thus, thermal gain increases and decreases loss. The local time of the factors is very significant in solar energy because it clearly affects the performance of solar collector including efficiency, external temperature, heat loss as well as heat gain. And most researchers studied this factor and its impact on the performance of the PTC. Figure (16) effect of the local time on the thermal efficiency, thermal efficiency of the fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) begins to increase gradually as time increases due to the gradual increase in the intensity of solar radiation until it reaches the peak at (13.45 p.m.) (56.07%, 62.27%, 64.54%, 65.87% and 67.11%) respectively. After (13.45 p.m.) the thermal efficiency begins to decline gradually due to the gradual decrease in the intensity of solar radiation. When increasing the intensity of solar radiation, the heat absorbed by the receiving tube increases, which in turn increases, the efficiency of the solar collector Figure (17) expression that effect of the local time on the heat losses (qpo−gi.total), during the summer the heat losses of the fluids (Water, Molten salt, PEO+0.2%CUO Nano fluid, PEO+1%CNT Nano fluid and Water+(PEO+1%CNT) Nano fluid) begins to increase gradually as time rises due to the gradual increase in the intensity of solar radiation until it reaches the peak at (13.45 p.m.) (1366.7 KW, 703.73 KW, 461.82 KW, 319.61 KW and 186.81 KW) respectively. In the case of increasing the intensity of solar radiation, the absorbed energy is increased by the glass envelope and the received tube, as a result of the difference between the energy absorbed by the glass envelope and the receiving tube, this results in a difference between the temperature of the receiving tube and the glass. This loss is caused by temperature difference. The table 7, shows the percentage decreases in the heat loss through the vacuum space between the receiver tube and the glass envelope compared with water and molten salt.
