Download or read book Solar Collectors Energy Storage and Materials written by Francis DeWinter and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 1116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar Collectors, Energy Storage, and Materials covers the materials and basic components needed for solar thermal energy systems. Using thermal performance and durability as the major criteria, the twenty six chapters emphasize the modeling and assessment of devices rather than their application or cost. Each part begins with an overview and concludes with an assessment of current issues and opportunities. The contributors have been careful to document failures as well as successes in materials research. This is the fifth volume in a series that distills the results of the intensive research on and development of solar thermal energy conversion technologies from 1975 to 1986. Francis de Winter is President of the Altas Corporation, Santa Cruz, California and a member of the Santa Cruz Energy Advisory Committee. Contents: Solar Collectors. Collector Concepts and Designs. Optical Theory and Modeling of Solar Collectors. Thermal Theory and Modeling of Solar Collectors. Testing and Evaluation of Stationary Collectors. Testing and Evaluation of Tracking Collectors. Optical Research and Development. Collector Thermal Research and Development. Collector Engineering Research and Development. Solar Pond Research and Development.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar water heaters (SWHs) are a well-established renewable energy technology that have been widely adopted around the world. This work presents a novel method of integrating Phase Change Materials (PCMs) within the evacuated solar tube collectors for solar water heaters (SWHs). In this method, the heat pipe is immersed inside the phase change material, where heat is effectively accumulated and stored for an extended period of time due to thermal insulation of evacuated tubes. The benefit of this method includes improved functionality by delayed release of heat, thus providing hot water during the hours of high demand or when solar intensity is insufficient. The proposed solar collector utilizes two distinct phase change materials (dual-PCM), namely Tritriacontane and Erythritol, with melting temperatures of 72° C and 118°C respectively. The operation of solar water heater with the proposed solar collector is investigated during both normal and on-demand stagnation) operation. Beyond the improved functionality for solar water heater systems, the results from this study show efficiency improvement of 26% for the normal operation and 66% for the stagnation mode, compared with standard solar water heaters that lack phase change materials. The obtained results from the experimental work is validated by computational fluid dynamic model of one single evacuated tube solar collector (large scale size) with ANSYS Fluent. Also the concept of enhancing the convective heat transfer and uniform melting process by silicone oil as a heat transfer medium in direct contact with PCMs is investigated. In addition, the Evacuated Tube solar Collectors (ETCs) are significantly improved by utilizing the “dry-drawable” Carbon Nanotube (CNT) sheet coatings to increase the solar energy absorption and Phase Change Materials (PCMs) to increase the heat accumulation for application in solar water heaters. The proposed solar collector utilizes a phase change material namely Octadecane paraffin, with melting temperatures of 28 ?C which is categorized as nontoxic with long-term chemical stability PCM. As PCMs particularly in powder form may not be effective by itself due to the poor heat transfer rate, low thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity, by combining CNT layers with the high thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity compare to phase change materials, we are able to overcome the shortcomings of PCMs and design an innovative and efficient solar water heater. With the current technology, we can provide a near ideal “black body” surface, absorbing a maximum of 98%, between 600-1100 nm, of solar light striking the surface, and providing additional spectral absorption which improves the performance of the solar heater. Applying CNT sheets in conjunction with PCM enables heat storage directly on the collector for a more constant output, even on a cloudy day and prolonged output of heat at night.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the application of process intensification to sustainable energy production, combining two very topical subject areas. Due to the increasing process of petroleum, sustainable energy production technologies must be developed, for example bioenergy, blue energy, chemical looping combustion, concepts for CO2 capture etc. Process intensification offers significant competitive advantages, because it provides more efficient processes, leading to outstanding cost reduction, increased productivity and more environment-friendly processes.
