A significant share of final energy consumption in the industrial sector is used for meeting
the process heating applications at low and medium temperatures (up to 250° C). Solar …

Researchers have discovered that by using low collector flow rates (roughly one-seventh of
those that have been generally used) and by taking measures to ensure the water in the …

In this paper, a methodology is proposed to determine the design space for synthesis,
analysis, and optimization of solar water heating systems. The proposed methodology …

Over the past 20 years, energy conservation imperatives, the use of computer based design
aids, and major advances in intelligent management systems for buildings have transformed …

A large number of industrial processes demand thermal energy in the temperature range of
80–240° C. In this temperature range, solar thermal systems have a great scope of …

The main objective of this study is to optimize the long-term performance of an existing
active-indirect solar hot water plant (SHWP), which supplies hot water at 65° C for use in a …

Solar energy is available all over the world in different intensities. Theoretically, the solar
energy available on the surface of the earth is enough to support the energy requirements of …

In this paper, the production of low to medium temperature water for industrial process heat
using solar energy is considered. In particular, the paper outlines the perspective of an …

Using Fourier series expansion of the involving temperatures and the forcing parameters ie
the solar radiation and the ambient temperature, an iterative procedure has been developed …

Although the performance of solar domestic hot water (SDHW) systems has been well
studied, there are several promising control alternatives that have not been thoroughly …
