Abstract
Solar air collectors have been used in a variety of industrial applications, prompting a study and summary of various studies on the topic. Solar collectors’ exceptional energy conversion and storage outputs have piqued curiosity in the field of energy research. The current review study focuses on solar thermal application advancements and provides an overview of thermal energy storage devices and solar collectors. This paper presents and discusses a variety of solar collectors, both concentrating and non-concentrating. The energy storage media utilized in these plants, phase change material with melting temperatures exceeding 300°C, was exam-ined. The goal of this study is to provide the necessary information for advanced investiga-tions in the development of cost-effective high-temperature thermal storage systems. Finally, a summary of the presentation, as well as potential solar power plants are reviewed.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Thermal Enginering is aimed at giving a recognized platform to students, researchers, research scholars, teachers, authors and other professionals in the field of research in Thermal Engineering subjects, to publish their original and current research work to a wide, international audience. In order to achieve this goal, we will have applied for SCI-Expanded Index in 2021 after having an Impact Factor in 2020. The aim of the journal, published on behalf of Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul-Turkey, is to not only include actual, original and applied studies prepared on the sciences of heat transfer and thermodynamics, and contribute to the literature of engineering sciences on the national and international areas but also help the development of Mechanical Engineering. Engineers and academicians from disciplines of Power Plant Engineering, Energy Engineering, Building Services Engineering, HVAC Engineering, Solar Engineering, Wind Engineering, Nanoengineering, surface engineering, thin film technologies, and Computer Aided Engineering will be expected to benefit from this journal’s outputs.
