Abstract
This study presents an in-depth analysis of the Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) system, focusing on its individual components and their performance. The research includes a comprehensive literature review and recent studies, along with an experimental case study, complemented by simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics. The objective is to evaluate the efficiency and feasibility of PTC systems for solar energy applications. Through experimental data and simulation results, this work aims to provide insights into optimizing PTC design and operation.
