About this document
Solar Thermal Energy Conversion Principles by Shaik Towheed Banu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document is a lecture on solar thermal energy conversion. It discusses how solar radiation can be converted to thermal energy using metals as absorbers, as metals have small or zero band gap energies allowing photon energy to be completely converted to kinetic energy and heat. The solar energy is absorbed and heats a fluid which is then stored and can be used for desired applications like heating or distillation. A diagram shows the process of solar radiation being absorbed and converting to thermal ene
