Comparison of a solar dish concentrator with different cavity receivers and working fliud
Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject SummaryThe project is related to renewable/sustainable energy, which has greater importance in the world. In the project, we have to examine the performance of the solar parabolic dish system. The solar dish is used for the conversion of solar energy to thermal or electrical energy. It has a wide range of conversion efficiency and can be used for both electrical or thermal purposes.
Project ObjectivesThe main goal is to observe the best cavity receiver of a solar dish system at a particular working fluid. We have to take a number of cavity designs at different working fluids. The analysis based on the heat transfer characteristic of the receiver at a different flow rate.
Project Implementation MethodThe project implemented based on the experimental analysis with numerical analysis. The numerical analysis will be conducted on software like Ansys. The results of both analysis will be compared to get the accuracy of the system.
Benefits of the ProjectSolar dish system has many benefits :
It has higher conversion efficiency than other renewable technologies.No fuel consumption required.It can use widely in a world where the sunlight is in abundant form.In Pakistan, this system cab be more efficient because of the large duration of the presence of sunlight. No hazardous effect of using this system for the conversion of solar energy to electrical or thermal energy.Little maintenance required.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableThe analysis of the project will be conducted experimentally as well as numerical. For experimentally we have to prepare the design and fabrication of the system. For software analysis, we have to use Ansys. We have to compare both analyses to get accuracy of the system
