| Özet |
| This study evaluates the performance of a parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) equipped with a novel flat metallic receiver designed to enhance heat transfer and storage under stationary non-tracking conditions in Sinop, Türkiye. Two receiver configurations were fabricated and experimentally tested: one with paraffin wax (PW) integrated as a phase change material (PCM) and one without PW. The experimental study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the influence of mass flow rate on system performance was examined under high (HF), medium (MF), and low (LF) flow conditions. The average thermal efficiencies of the receiver with PW were 37.85%, 35.27%, and 27.55% for HF, MF, and LF, respectively, while the receiver without PW achieved 38.97%, 29.82%, and 19.36%. Increasing the mass flow rate enhanced thermal efficiency in both configurations; however, this effect was considerably more … |
