Thermal Performance Analysis of Evacuated Tube Collectors and Heat Exchanger: A Review

this review article deals with various methodologies adopted by present researcher for analysis of various thermal performance parameters of Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors along with Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger. Present review work will assist researchers working in the field of development of Evacuated Tube Collectors and Heat Exchanger design to get the key knowledge about the thermal performance parameters like Energy efficiency, Exergy efficiency, exergy losses, Mass flow rate of fluid, overall heat transfer coefficient, LMTD etc. In ETC and Heat exchanger, there are many types of Heat transfer fluids which are used to get the useful heat gain in respect of exergy analysis. The article progressively discusses about the research methodology, performance parameters, exergetic analysis of the system and the outcomes of the discussed researches and is intended to give the readers a brief variety of the researches carried out on Evacuated Tube Collectors and Heat Exchanger.
