摘要
Temperature measurements for line-axis reverse flat plate absorber compound parabolic concentrating solar energy collectors under a simulated solar light source provide a validation of a model for both optics and heat transfer. In general, excellent agrement was demonstrated with predicted temperatures bring within 2 degreesC of those measured. Details of the simulation method adopted and a simple technique employed to reduce the computer time required for the simulations are presented. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
