The aim of this article is modeling the parabolic trough (CSP) based on equations of the thermal balances of the different components taking into account all the different modes of heat transfer, as well as a comparison of the temperatures at the outputs in using two heat transfer fluids namely water and synthetic oil. The equations were solved using the finite difference method, and this developed model is validated by the results of the literature. The results obtained show the temperature at the outlet of the fluid, the absorber and the glass as well as the effects of flow, speed and irradiation on the temperature of the fluid, then an economic estimate of the energy consumption at the end.
