Asphalt is a sticky plastic material,its modulus and strength will change with temperature and the actual bearing capacity of pavement structure will change as well. A new method was used to evaluate the temperature change of asphalt pavement. By simulate solar radiation on asphalt sample to study the change of the temperature field. The temperature distribution of the asphalt concrete under the same light radiation and circulating water was also studied. The results indicate that this method can be a good simulation of solar collectors on the surface temperature field.展开更多

An analytical model has been developed and used to estimate the solar irradiation. The analytical model is based on the anisotropic sky model, assuming an infinite length of collector and reflector rows. A simulation has been carried out in order to figure out the behavior of the solar field and to find the optimum design parameters of the solar field leading to a maximum solar energy augmentation. The results obtained are depicted synoptically as a relationship between the solar field design parameters and the latitude angle, and this presentation enables us to determine the optimum design parameters in order to achieve the intended percentage improvement of solar radiation incident on the solar field rows at any location on the Northern hemisphere, which presents the novelty of this research. Also we have introduced a new parameter named “the effective height of the collector”, which presents the portion of the collector’s height illuminated by the reflector. This parameter is very important especially in case of PV solar fields, because it determines the domain of the concentrated solar energy over the surface of the PV panel.展开更多
