摘要：The present work demonstrates fabrication and scope of the parabolic solar collector setup with significant temperature rise using concentric copper tubes filled with graphite powder. This paper basically focused on application of alternative energy which is convenient to utilize and maintain. The solar collector’s efficiency studies aimed to improvement system performance with respect to energy conversion efficiency. The parabolic collector and the entire setup were fabricated on local workshop. The main objective of the research is to obtain very significant changes in the temperature rise of water from the output gate valve of the collector and to provide a cost efficient method to harvest the solar energy in the most effective way. It also includes comparison of the collector’s performance by installing copper tubes and concentric copper tubes filled with graphite. Testing of the entire system was carried out during the month of April 2015 at Noida (28° 57' N and 77° 32'E). This setup found applications such as a solar geyser, thermal power units, steam generation systems etc.
