Abstract

This paper is about the process and the performance of Scheffler reflector. For this system, the simulating software fuzzy logic and MATLAB software will be used. First, the input temperature, the surface temperature and according to that the output temperature were taken. These values were compared with the practical values. The storage reservoir is placed at the central point. After getting the results, it has been investigated that the fuzzy logic can be used for proper output with least error. It has been found that the model can be performed at different places with different weather conditions like ambient temperature, solar radiation and humidity.
