        Hello,
I am trying to simulate a trough parabolic CSP plant with water/steam as HTF using SAM 2016.3.14 version. I am considering taken receiver inlet and outlet temperature as 250 ºC and 335 ºC respectively. Is there a CSV file with required values: temperature, specific heat, density, viscosity, kinematic viscosity, conductivity, and enthalpy of HTF? Your kind response is highly anticipated.
My best regards.

        Dear Lucas,
Both of SAM's parabolic trough models are for solar fields with oil or salt as the heat transfer fluid.
The linear Fresnel direct steam model is for a linear collector with direct steam as the heat transfer fluid. You may be able to use that model for your application.
Best regards,
Paul.

        Hello, Paul.
Thanks for your advice. However, I'll use the power tower direct steam model for my application. I would like to suggest the update of the parabolic trough direct steam model too in the new version of the SAM.
Best regards,
Lucas.
