Abstract :
A bank of three Parabolic Trough Collectors in the same plane maintained to face normal incidence of solar radiation in Iraq at (34°35 N, 43°37 E). The influence of rim angle, effective length, and reflector width is being taking care off. A two flow regimes experimented for 0.03 and 0.06 kg/sec in a coated S.S. Steel pipe unshielded. The results showed a remarkable behavior in term of decreasing temperature difference to have an increase in efficiency but with regard to the increasing mass flow rate having a decrease of the losses an increase in efficiency.
