Performance analysis and economic consideration of solar ethanol distillation with different types of solar collectors
SYNOPSIS: Continuous solar ethanol distillation systems having flat-plate collectors, evacuated tube collectors and heat pipe collectors were constructed to study their performances and economic viability. The mathematical modelling of each main component was carried out and the system simulation de...

The minimum alcohol production costs from the flat plate collector system, the evacuated tube collector system and the heat pipe collector system are 0.17 US$/litre, 0.14 US$/litre and 0.15 US$/litre, respectively. © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. 2018-09-11T08:56:32Z 2018-09-11T08:56:32Z 2006-01-01 Journal 21628246 01430750 2-s2.0-33744532892 10.1080/01430750.2006.9674996 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=33744532892&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/61652 |
