1 Introduction. An evacuated tube solar collector (ETSC) is a solar device to efficiently captures and converts sunlight into heat. It is suitable for high-temperature applications like hydrogen production [] consists of glass tubes with a vacuum layer, which minimizes heat loss and ensures high efficiency even in adverse weather conditions [].
Fig. 1 shows a general view of the solar cooking system. It consists of the three main components: collector, heat pipes, and oven section. The collector is made up of six evacuated double-wall (concentric) glass tubes (length 1 m, outer diameter of inner tube 25.4 mm, outer diameter of outer tube 37.6 mm) mounted on parabolic concentrating chrome–nickel
An evacuated tube collector (ETC) consists of a number of concentric borosilicate tubes inclined at an angle of 45° from horizontal. Evacuated tubes of 1.4 m long and absorber diameter of 0.044 m are mounted over a diffuse reflector with center-line spacing of 0.07 m.The inner glass tubes are filled with the water and are blackened at its outside surface with a
