Thermal regimes in solar-thermal linear collectors [PDF]
Solar Energy, 2011 Abstract The physics of linear receivers is analysed, including the effects of the natural aperture of the solar radiation (32′ conical angle) on the radiation concentration achievable with a given geometry. This analysis is oriented to identify features of the thermal performance of the receiver in different radiation conditions.
