Effect of Opening Ratio and Operating Temperature on Heat Losses for Cavity Receiver of Solar Concentrator
In this paper effect of opening ratio and operating temperature on convective and radiative losses from cavity receiver of solar concentrators are presented. Convective and radiative
متن کاملInvestigation of heat loss from a solar cavity receiver
This study examines experimentally the heat loss from a model solar cavity receiver. For this purpose, laboratory-scale cylindrical cavity models with geometric aspect ratios (cavity length to diameter) of 1 and 2, and aperture opening ratios (aperture diameter to cavity diameter) of 0.5 and 1, were built. Each cavity was subjected to constant boundary heat input via heating cables, and was ope...
متن کاملExperimental study of free convective heat transfer in a direction-sensitive open cavity
The aim of the present study was to propose a panel being sensitive to the direction of heat transfer. For this purpose, a vertical rectangular cavity with prescribed dimensions was prepared and filled with water as the working fluid. A vertical mid-plane solid partition was installed within the cavity. Two relatively wide openings were created at the top and bottom of the partition and they we...
متن کاملExperimental and Computational Heat Losses for a Small Dish Receiver
Experimental and computed losses and reactor tube temperature profiles are presented for three ammonia receiver/reactor geometries operating on a 9 m dish concentrator. Preliminary analysis of receiver losses indicates that as the half cone angle of the receiver tube frustum reduces – from 17.5o to 7.5o to 3.7o – there is a shift from convection-dominated losses to radiation-dominated losses. T...
متن کاملComputational and experimental investigations into cavity receiver heat loss for solar thermal concentrators
Tubular cavity receivers offer excellent prospects as low-cost, high-efficiency heat collection elements for paraboloidal dish solar-thermal concentrators, as well as for central tower systems. Major heat loss mechanisms for these receivers are convection and radiative emission, as well as reflection and spillage (non-capture). Compared to glazed receivers, convection heat loss can be quite a l...
