Performance enhancement of evacuated U-tube solar collector integrated with phase change material

In this research, a numerical simulation was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of an Evacuated tube solar collector (ETSC). The study explored the efficacy of merging a parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) and copper fins into the U-tube ETSC design. Two types of fins, namely annular fins an...
