An optimisation study of a solar tower receiver: the influence of geometry and material, heat flux, and heat transfer fluid on thermal and mechanical performance
The solar receiver is considered the cornerstone of the solar tower power system. In particular, it receives high-temperature heat flux rays, and extracts the maximum heat energy to be transferred to the heat transfer fluid, while minimising any thermal and mechanical stresses. Reducing the solar re...
