Optical Analysis for a Honeycomb Solar Receiver Using a Point-Focus Concentrator

Abstract
In this work we present an optical analysis for three different hydraulic diameter honeycomb receivers used to elevate working fluid temperature using concentrated solar radiation provided by a point-focus solar concentrating system. The analysis was carried out in order to determine the amount of concentrated solar radiation received in the volumetric receiver as well as the radiation distribution inside of it, also to determine the length of it ...
