Design and Optimization of Dish for Solar Thermal Incineration

Article Preview

Abstract:

Waste disposal in remote areas is a hurdle due to lack of active dumping space. Besides, improper dumping of waste on empty land can have a detrimental impact on the environment. Incineration of waste using thermal incineration (using a solar concentrator) can be utilized for mobile incineration devices to dispose of hazardous waste effectively with a limited space. The design and mobility of the solar dish for this purpose is one of the most important considerations. The modeling of the solar dish was performed on SOLIDWORKS® with APEX® for optical simulation. The simulation results showed a linear variation of flux coating to enable a more comprehensive cost benefit analysis for the design. The simulation was also used to check whether the required flux at focus (to achieve ignition) was achieved. Further work is required to validate the results.
