INTRODUCTION
Celestial Sphere :The imaginary large sphere, sky is called a celestial sphere.
Zenith : The point on the celestial sphere, directly over the observer’s head, is Zenith. It
may change with respect to the location.
Earth Equator : It is an imaginary great circle normal to the earth’s axis, dividing the
distance between the earth pole, along its surface into two equal parts is called the earth’s
equator.
Longitude : Angular distance of location measured east or west from the prime meridian.
Following are the basic earth’s angle as follows:
Latitude (ø) : It is the angular distance measured north or
south of the equator from the center of the earth. It is
measured positive for the northern hemisphere and negative
for southern hemisphere.

SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW
From literature review we conclude that there are so many innovative ways to
produce solar energy by using parabolic dish collector. In future it will vital role in
producing energy.
The rim angle can affect the efficiency of parabolic dish collector. If the rim angle is
adjusted properly then parabolic dish collector give maximum efficiency.
The Reflecting material is very important parameter in parabolic dish collector
OBJECTIVES
As we all are aware that the conventional energy sources are depleting day by day
and that it is very essential to find alternative energy sources to substitute them.
This project is an effort to concentrate the heat radiated by the sun with the help of
a parabolic solar concentrator dish in order to increase energy harnessing capacity
The setup consists of three basic elements as:-
1)Concentrating Collectors
2)Azimuthal Tracking mechanism
3)Altitude Tracking mechanisms
Concentrating collector
1) Concentrating collectors are used for converting solar energy into heat energy, and the radiation
emitted by the Sun is optically concentrated using mirrors or lens before converting into heat.
2) fluids can be heated to temperatures of 500 °c.
Types Of Concentrating collector
Mirror strip reflector
Fresnel Lens collector
Compound parabolic reflector (C.P.C)
Parabolic trough collector
Paraboloidal collector
Azimuthal Tracking Mechanism:
1) A DC supply is used to reduce the rotational speed
of the viper worm geared motor to the required rate of rotation.
2) In azimuthal tracking mechanism the dish rotates from morning
to evening from east to west.

Completion
In this study the parabolic dish collector is optimized for various rim angles, focus point of
different length and geometry of parabola.
Design parameters are formulated for the geometry of the parabolic collector to obtain maximum
output.
Imaging diameter enables a very large aperture area with small absorber area effectively reducing
thermal losses at high temperature.
Imaging and no-imaging diameter are changing according to different rim angles. Therefore the
geometric manipulations for each case and flux distribution is varied, accordingly concentration
temperature varies
