Abstract
This experimental study aims to investigate the influence of several parameters, such as concentration ratio, optical efficiency, and thermal efficiency, on the performance of the trough solar collector. Currently, countries worldwide are collectively concerned about the problem of environmental pollution and its resulting effects. Nevertheless, it is crucial for these nations to ensure sufficient energy supplies to promote the development and expansion of their individual countries. The application of traditional methods, including those utilizing coal, fossil fuels, and organic substances, for energy production results in a substantial amount of air pollution, which acts as the main driver of global warming. The use of alternative approaches for energy generation is considered more advantageous in terms of environmental consequences. Nevertheless, the main obstacle preventing impoverished and growing nations from adopting these non-conventional procedures is the absence of economic feasibility. The geographical conditions play a crucial role in assessing the feasibility of alternative sources like solar energy and wind energy. This study entailed an examination of the operational effectiveness of a solar trough collector, followed by computations to determine its efficiencies.
