...J. G. Carrillo; M. I. Peña-Cruz; Miguel Terron-Hernandez; Luis Valentín One of the problems of designing a solar compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is related to its manufacturing shape accuracy. The complexity of curving and holding the CPC profile in place is indeed a challenging issue...

...Honglie Ye; Yanjie Zheng; Hongfei Zheng; Shen Liang In this paper, a new design of a solar still powered by a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC-SS) for agriculture irrigation is proposed and investigated. The concentrating performance of its concentrator is simulated which is proved that it has...

...Xiaoguang Gu; Robert A. Taylor; Gary Rosengarten Although the proposed CPC is designed for portable applications—which allow manual tracking—the optical performance at nonzero longitudinal angles is important. Ray-tracing for the optical performance and the total flux on one side of the receiver...

...Yuehong Su; Gang Pei; Saffa B. Riffat; Hulin Huang A compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is a nonimaging concentrator that can concentrate solar radiation coming within its acceptance angle. A low concentration CPC photovoltaic system has the advantages of reduced Photovoltaics (PVs) cell size...

... activity tests were carried out using two types of continuous flow reactors: (i) a compound parabolic collector (CPC) and (ii) a simple flat reactor. Three different photocatalysts based on Ti O 2 were utilized: (i) commercial powders calcined at 500 ° C (ii) a Ti O 2 − x N x sample synthesized by treating...
