摘要
A solar paraboloid concentrator was designed and developed for paraffin wax melting having 1.32 m(2) aperture area and 0.25 m focal length. The performance of the system was evaluated in terms of optical efficiency factor (F'no) and overall heat loss factor (F-UL') by sensible water heating and cooling tests, respectively. The values of the optical efficiency factor (F'no) and overall heat loss factor (F-UL') were found to be 0.2125 and 39.46 W/m(2) K, respectively. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
