Abstract


The study of appropriate receiver design is necessary for Scheffler dish solar collector to identify the efficiency of capture of solar energy. In this study experimental analysis work was carried out with an intention to prepare heat balance sheet of Scheffler dish solar collector using novel receiver. The objective behind this study is to prepare a work for future research in direction of increasing the energy collection efficiency of system.The study reveals that with the help of developed novel receiver around 30 minutes of time is sufficient to start receiving net positive energy capture from the system. Also two peak regions are observed where maximum outputof steam was obtained during afternoon. The research work has obtained around 80% of energy collection with the help of novel receiver for Scheffler dish in comparison with the value available in the literature.
