Helio-Thermal process:
 In this process, the radiant solar energy falling on the surface placed on the earth in
the form of the visible light is converted directly into thermal energy.
 The surfaces on which the solar rays fall which converted into thermal energy are
called Collectors.
 Two types of collectors are used
1. Non-Concentrating type or Flat plate collector
 The incident solar rays are absorbed by the collectors surface itself.
2. Concentrating type or Focusing collector
 The solar rays fall on a large curved reflecting surface which reflects all the
incident rays and focus them to form a highly concentrated narrow beam which
will be absorbed later.

Flat plate Collector:
 In this collector a blackened sheet of metal is used to absorb all the sunlight, direct,
diffuse and terrestrially reflect then it convert it into heat, later it transferred to the
other fluids (Air, Water…).
Applications:
1. Water heating
2. Drying of Food grains & Vegetables
3. Seasoning of wood
4. Desalination of water
5. Cooking

Fig. a Fig. b Fig. c
Fig. d Fig. e Fig. f

Focusing Collector:
 In this collector a mirror or a lens system is used to increase the intensity of solar
radiation.
 Parabolic reflectors (Cylindrical shape or Spherical shape) are employed to focus
the incident radiation.
Applications:
1. Solar boilers

Fig.17 Parabolic Concentrating collector.

Wind Energy:
 Energy contained in the force of the air blowing across the earth’s surface.
 It can be converted into mechanical energy for performing work (: Pumping water,
Grinding grain by wind mills) and producing electrical energy by wind turbines.

Tidal Energy:
 The periodic rise and fall of ocean water.
 Tides occur because of the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun upon
the water and upon the earth itself.
 Tides are of two types
1. High tide or Flood tide: When the water is above the mean sea level.
2. Low tide or Ebb tide: When the water is below the mean sea level

Ocean Thermal Energy:
 The solar energy incident on the earth surface is absorbed by the land and the
surface water of the oceans.
 The solar energy absorbed by the ocean increases the temperature of only upper
layers of water, while the deep water remains cold.

Fig.20 Ocean Thermal power plant.

Geo Thermal Energy:
 The term ‘geothermal’ comes from Greek word ‘geo’ means earth and ‘thermal’
means heat.
 Geothermal energy is the heat energy stored deep inside the earth.

Fig.21 Geo Thermal power plant.

Nuclear Energy:
 It is a chemical energy released during the Fission (Splitting) or Fusion
(Combining) of atomic nuclei.
 A nuclear reaction involves changes in the structure of the nucleus. As a result of
such changes, the nucleus gains or loses one or more neutrons or protons and
release useful amounts of energy.
