The worldwide increasing energy demand and
the alarming situation of the depletion of fossil fuel drive us to
focus on deriving energy from renewable sources. The solar
thermal power generation (STP) uses different types of solar
concentrating technologies and many researches in this area
have proven that the parabolic trough concentrator (PTC)
technology is suitable for power generation. A PTC is a linefocus concentrator which focuses the solar irradiance to fall on
the absorber tube and to transfer to the heat transfer fluid
(HTF). The PTC work under the temperature range of 60° to
400 C°. The performance of the PTC can be improved by
improving the optical and thermal efficiency. In this paper the
recent researches on the thermal performance enhancement by
using nano fluid and different absorber tube fluid are studied
and presented.
