| Abstract | ||
| Large-scale renewable energy sources with tremendous potential include concentrated solar power, which is currently attracting attention due to its use and room for growth. Due to their higher efficiency when compared to photovoltaic, parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSCs) in particular are becoming more and more popular. This work aims to assess the performance of a planned 24-m-long PTSC model in a 10m3 /day solar MED water desalination plant with a 2.2m3 storage tank. Oil served as the working fluid in a glass heat-collection element. Based on seasonal data for average intake and outflow temperatures and surface temperatures for Cairo's climatic conditions, the suggested model's authentication is supported. | ||
