Optimization of a Solar-Driven Trigeneration System with Nanofluid-Based Parabolic Trough Collectors

The objective of this work was to optimize and to evaluate a solar-driven trigeneration system which operates with nanofluid-based parabolic trough collectors. The trigeneration system includes an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and an absorption heat pump operating with LiBr-H2O which is powered by the...
