The use of central receiver system (CRS) for electricity production promises to be one of the
most viable options to replace fossil fuel power plants. Indeed, research and development …

The seventh edition of this classic text outlines the fundamental physical principles of
thermal radiation, as well as analytical and numerical techniques for quantifying radiative …

One of the main problems of solar power tower plants with molten salt as heat transfer fluid
is the reliability of central receivers. The receiver must withstand high working temperatures …

Mixed convection in an open cavity with a heated wall bounded by a horizontally insulated
plate is studied numerically. Three basic heating modes are considered:(a) the heated wall …

The numerical study of combined laminar natural convection and surface radiation heat
transfer in a modified cavity receiver of solar parabolic dish collector is presented in this …

Marangoni natural convection involved in a heating system with an open boundary layer
flow has been numerically analyzed in this article. An isoflux heater is placed below a steel …

In this communication, the numeric results of the heat transfer by natural convection and
surface thermal radiation in a tilted 2D open cavity are presented. This study has importance …

The problem of laminar fluid flow which results from the stretching of a vertical surface with
variable stream conditions in a nanofluid due to solar radiation has been investigated …

This study details the numerical modelling and optimization of natural convection heat
suppression in a solar cavity receiver with plate fins. The use of plate fins attached to the …

The problem of laminar fluid flow, which results from the stretching of a vertical surface with
variable stream conditions in a nanofluid due to solar energy, is investigated numerically …
