A Vegetable Oil as Heat Transfer Fluid for Parabolic Trough Collector: Dynamic Performance Analysis under Ouagadougou Climate Conditions

In this study, the thermal performance of the parabolic trough collector (PTC) has been addressed under Ouagadougou climate conditions. Thus, after developing a model, the effect of mass flow on PTC performance showed that the Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) temperature difference increases when the mass...
