Students in the Renewable Energy (ME 364/464) class taught by mechanical engineering and mechanics research full professor Carlos Romero recently got an up-close look at a new solar thermal concentrator installed on the Mountaintop campus.
The new equipment is the result of a collaboration involving Lehigh’s Energy Research Center (ERC; Dr. Romero is the director), the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics (MEM), and industry partner Solarflux Energy Technologies. The Pennsylvania-based company develops and manufactures solar thermal collectors and related technologies for industrial applications.
