The trough is usually aligned on a north–south axis, and rotated to track the sun as it moves across the sky each day. Alternatively, the trough can be aligned on an east–west axis; this reduces the overall efficiency of the collector due to the sunlight striking the collectors at an angle but only requires the trough to be.

In a Solar parabolic trough 1.1 Working of Parabolic Trough Collector collector (SPTC), the reflective profile focuses sunlight on a linear receiver tube or Heat Collecting Element (HCE) through Since parabolic trough have highly reflective material such as aluminum or mirrors, all the sun rays get reflected and which heat transfer fluid is pumped.
Depending on the technology, the working fluid that circulates through the inner tube differs which absorbs heat from sun. A mechanism that spins the collector's parabolic trough reflectors around an axis is the most popular approach for tracking the sun's radiation (Luo et.al, 2015).
A parabolic trough collector (PTC) is a type of solar thermal collector that is straight in one dimension and curved as a parabola in the other two, lined with a polished metal mirror. The sunlight which enters the mirror parallel to its plane of symmetry is focused along the focal line, where objects are positioned that are intended to be heated.

Temperature profiles have been studied for solar parabolic trough collector in both January and May from the analysis. Outlet Temperature along with time has been compared from both the CFD and Simulink results.
Meshing of Solar parabolic trough collector The software used for meshing is ANSYS 2022 R1. As it is the student version the elements maintained should be less than five lakhs and the skewness should be less than 0.94. Lesser skewness of meshing has to be maintained for better quality of design.
