Thermal Model of a Dish Stirling Cavity-Receiver

Thermal Model of a Dish Stirling Cavity-Receiver

This paper presents a thermal model for a dish Stirling cavity based on the finite differences method. This model is a theoretical tool to optimize the cavity in terms of thermal efficiency. One of the main outcomes of this work is the evaluation of radiative exchange using the radiosity method; for...
