A tool to minimize the need of Monte Carlo ray tracing code for 3D finite volume modelling of a standard parabolic trough collector receiver under a realistic solar flux profile
Abstract The energy collection element of a parabolic trough collector includes a selective coated metallic receiver tube inside an evacuated glass tube. Perpendicularly incident sun light on the parabolic trough mirror aperture is concentrated on the receiver tube highly nonuniformly along its circ...
