Solar parabola mirror with power generation

This study tried to test the construction of a parabolic solar power generator by using of concentrating mirror collector with a line focus collection. Heat from the sun is concentrated on the absorber pipe that resides at the focus line of the mirror reflector in which the water absorbed heat. The amount of heat adsorbed depends upon the length of pipe used which located in the focus of the reflector as well as the reflection surface type and the ambient conditions. This parabolic solar energy generator is very useful because it is environmentally safe, not expansive even if it is compared with point focus, technically less difficult, and no fuel required. This work described as well the unit of the sun tracking system through the manual lever tilting at the parabolic dish for the capturing of the sun energy. The entire arrangement has been fixed on a hinged frame that is supported by a slotted lever to tilt the parabolic dish reflector to a variety of angles so that the sun stays always directed to a collector at various day periods. This research tried to construct a heat generator with a specific required output water temperature by adjusting the working fluid flow rates. The efficiency of parabolic heat generation with pipe for heat transfer at different water flow rates was calculated.
