Two distinct SunDial prototypes were analyzed: one designed for low-latitude locations with single-axis azimuthal tracking, and another for high-latitude regions with dual-axis tracking. The study involved a prototype sizing assessment to determine the cost-effective dimensions for the SunDial. A detailed comparison was conducted with the market-leading parabolic trough collector, revealing that the dual-axis tracking SunDial exhibits more consistent annual energy production and a comparable levelized cost of heat in high-latitude regions. The findings suggest that these solar technologies are cost-competitive with the price of natural gas in central Europe.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23062,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science and Engineering Progress","volume":"61 ","pages":"Article 103526"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143738127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mathematical model is developed, followed by the derivation of analytical solutions using the separation of variables method combined with cosine Fourier series expansion. Our results indicated that the interplay between the undulation of the surface and rotation significantly influences the boundary layer formation for shaping the flow dynamics.

Building on these goals, this study examines low-GWP hydrocarbon working fluids and their binary zeotropic mixtures under partial evaporation. Using a validated MATLAB code integrated with the CoolProp tool, six working fluids—hexane, pentane, isopentane, butane, isobutene, and propane—were simulated, and their vapor quality was optimized for different source temperatures. Subsequently, binary zeotropic mixtures composed of these fluids were optimized for mixture composition and vapor quality, and the resulting systems were compared. The final results identify the optimal pure fluid and mixture option for each examined geothermal source temperature, serving as a performance map for geothermal ORC applications. The results showed that incorporating zeotropic mixtures as working fluids enhances system efficiency across all examined source temperatures compared to optimized pure fluids, with an increase reaching 40 % at low source temperatures. The economic evaluation indicated a decrease in the payback period and an increase in NPV for systems using zeotropic mixtures compared to pure fluids; the respective values ranged from 2.2 to 10 years and 47.1 k€ to 3,292.4 k€.

There remains a critical need for further studies to optimize drying conditions using CFD-integrated models for multiple samples under diverse inlet air velocities. In this study, a CFD-integrated drying model was developed to investigate drying uniformity for multiple samples under various conditions. This includes investigating whether a meshed inlet can enhance airflow distribution, thereby improving both drying uniformity and drying rates. Moreover, the study examined the uniformity of air velocity, moisture content, and sample temperature for different sample arrangements and positions within the drying chamber. Results indicated that higher air velocities significantly enhance moisture removal and temperature uniformity among samples, while sample placement notably affects drying rates. Moreover, the inclusion of meshed inlet can reduce the low energy spots within the drying chamber for optimizing the drying efficiency of the system. However, higher uniformities in air velocity and sample temperature, and moisture content were achieved from the non-perforated air inlet.
