Cfd Simulations for Advances of Solar Thermal Systems, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

CFD Simulations of Advances of Solar Thermal Systems offers readers the tools needed to optimize the performance of solar thermal systems with low costs through CFD applications and simulations. This book aims to advance the enhancement and affordability of solar thermal systems via CFD applications. Each chapter contains overviews paired with relevant illustrations, diagrams, and calculations describing each system. Sections then progress into intersectionality and application of CFDs for each, including advances -- all woven into a volume that flows from chapter to chapter with a consistent structure that delivers readers a valuable, easy-to-follow, practical reference.

Production of clean energy is a global goal. Several clean energy sources are available, including geothermal, wind, hydropower, and solar energy. The challenge is to develop efficient methods and processes for beneficial, rapidly scaled, safe and economically viable exploitation of these resources. Solar energy represents one of the most important renewable sources of clean energy. Solar energy is exploited using various methods - solar thermal systems convert solar energy to thermal energy via solar collectors, solar air heaters, solar chimney power plants, solar dishes, solar cookers, and solar parabolic concentrators.
