Micro-Grooved Pipe Design of Parabolic Trough by Metaheuristic Optimization: An Empirical Comparison
Pipe design is one of the most significant research lines in the area of parabolic semi-cylindrical solar collectors. The main idea behind pipe design is to increase the capillarity angle by expanding the total area being heated, therefore boosting the work capacity of the device. Such capillarity d...
