Optical cavity for improved performance of solar receivers in solar-thermal systems
A principal loss mechanism for solar receivers in solar-thermal systems is radiation from the absorbing surface. This loss can be reduced by using the concept of directional selectivity in which radiation is suppressed at angles larger than the incident angle of the sunlight striking the absorber. D...
