Polynomial Expressions for the Thermal Efficiency of the Parabolic Trough Solar Collector

The parabolic trough solar collector (PTC) is the most mature solar concentrating technology, and this technology is applied in numerous thermal applications. Usually, the thermal efficiency of the PTC is expressed with the aid of polynomial expressions. However, there is not a universal expression...
