A review of solar collectors and thermal energy storage in solar thermal applications [PDF]
Applied Energy, 2013 Thermal applications are drawing increasing attention in the solar energy research field, due to their high performance in energy storage density and energy conversion efficiency. In these applications, solar collectors and thermal energy storage systems are the two core components.

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.

Thermal and non-thermal energies of solar flares [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2005 The energy of the thermal flare plasma and the kinetic energy of the non-thermal electrons in 14 hard X-ray peaks from 9 medium-sized solar flares have been determined from RHESSI observations. The emissions have been carefully separated in the spectrum.
