Abstract

This paper presents an overview of reciprocating engine which is powered by converged sunlight heat source. In this
system sunlight is incident on a parabolic trough and focused on metal tube. The parabolic trough has large surface
area, more surface area to converge more sunlight and sufficient heat is produced to convert water into steam. In this
system, the sunlight energy is converted into mechanical work.
