Heat losses in a trapezoidal cavity receiver of a linear Fresnel collector: A CFD approach

Heat losses in a trapezoidal cavity receiver of a linear Fresnel collector: A CFD approach

This paper presents a thermal study of a cavity receiver designed for a Fresnel-type linear solar collector (LFC). The study utilizes a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model implemented in ANSYS Fluent. The thermal behavior of air inside the cavity for a Fresnel collector is exten...
