In this thesis theparabolic trough solar system use for electricity production or steam generation for industrial processes.An experimental setup has been developed to investigate the performance of the parabolic trough. Measurements of total direct radiation on the plane of the collector, ambient temperature, wind speed, water flow rate, and inlet and outlet temperatures of the water inside the absorber tube are collected and studying the performance of the parabolic trough. The material used is stainless steel sheet as a reflector and plywood material as a sub frame; The Different type of  pipe use for water circulation that is stainless steel pipe, iron pipe, Mild steel pipe , Aluminium pipe that is covered with glass tube and also comparers which of the efficiency High in all the materials use in this.

Keywords:, Stainless steel pipe, iron pipe, mild steel pipe, aluminium pipe, stainless steel reflector.
