In this Parabolic Trough Solar Collector (PTC-Water working fluid) design model, the system is attached to an intermediate heat exchanger. The system is used to generate hot steam via heat exchanger tank. User will be able to discover the total area based on the assigned thermal load volume. The following paramters can be calculated:
1-Mean plate temperature.
2-PTC Temperatures.
3-Overall losses.
4-Efficiency.
5-exergy nalysis.
6-System total thermal power.
7-Total system area, design operating conditions and flow rates.
8-Heat exchangers design.
9-Cost analysis.
The system main units are:
1-PTC.
2-Fire boiler for recovery system.
3-Heat exchanger.
4-Pumping system.
5-Load.
6-Water working fluid.
 
**Matlab 64bit should be installed in order to run the model
