Abstract:

For steam generation we used the solar parabola trough concentrator. In this Prototype (Cad modeling) includes steel pipe, iron pipe, aluminium pipe, copper pipe and steel sheet (concentrator). Our objective is to find out the outlet temperature and temperature variation with the help of ANSYS 14.5 workbench. The solar pipe made by ANSYS workbench and analyzed and find out the outlet temperature. First we would made cad model the solar pipe and then applied the boundary condition and last run the software and get the result. In this software give some input values in the geometry i.e. inlet velocity, inlet temperature, atmospheric pressure and heat flux. We have also used no slip boundary condition. In this analysis the flow of water is Laminar flow, no slip wall condition and the geometry model is k-e model. The Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD analysis of model is 3D analysis and single phase based analysis.
