- A numerical study of the performance of a concentrated solar parabolic trough is presented in this article. On two parabolic trough models measuring 12.5 and 20 cm respectively, in length of focal point, the study is being carried out. In order to test the parabolic mirror, an aluminum structure was used. This paper presents a regular calculation for optimizing the shape of the parabolic trough numerically. Researchers found that rays are most effectively reflected in the parabolic surface's middle and top, according to results of focal and slope errors. Length of parabolic had been reduced by 27 percent, allowing for a better suitable shape and size of a concentrator with parabolic type.
