The effect of adding alloy elements and heat treatment of Zinc on solar energy absorbing


Abstract in English

This research aims to study the effect of adding alloying elements and heat treatment of Zinc metal on solar energy absorbing , nine alloys ingots were manufactured by changing the percentages of added Aluminum and Copper on the pure Zinc, and these ratios of Aluminum were : (10% , 20% , 30% , 40 % , 50%) to demonstrate the effect of adding Aluminum to Zinc metal on solar energy absorbing , and ratios of copper were : (20% , 40%) , as well as we prepare two pure zinc samples with 99.2% of purity , one was rapidly cooled and the other slowly cooled , to demonstrate the effect of heat treatment on solar energy absorbing . In order to measure the solar energy absorbing for prepared samples , we manufactured a device depends on the methods of heat exchange between solar radiation and the surface exposed to radiation . The obtained results showed that adding Aluminum and Copper to the pure Zinc caused a decrease in solar energy absorbing . As well as increasing the percentages of adding Aluminum and Copper to the pure Zinc caused a gradually decrease in solar energy absorbing . comparing the absorbing of pure zinc samples, one was rapidly cooled and the other slowly cooled , the results showed that the sample was rapidly cooled was better than the sample slowly cooled on solar energy absorbing .
