Investigating a Prototype Heat Exchanger for Steam Storage
(2014-07)
A coiled tube single pass counter flow heat exchanger was designed and fabricated using locally available materials and its capacity to transmit heat to water to make steam was tested. The heat exchanger was part of ...
A Prototype Steam Storage System for Power Production
(2014-08-01)
Use of solar energy on a large scale is mainly
limited to the sun duration hours, weather conditions and
adequate solar thermal storage technology. A means of
addressing this problem using local materials is provided. ...
A prototype parabolic trough solar concentrators for steam production
(Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, 2012)
In this work, the potential for a solar-thermal concentrator to produce steam has
been studied. Three parabolic trough solar concentrators (PTSCs) of dimensions: -
aperture width of 1.2 m, Collector length of 5.8 m and ...
