Optical performance evaluation of a circular cylindrical solar concentrator using different absorber shapes.
The concentration characteristics of a seasonally adjusted circular cylindrical solar concentrator arr studied for four different absorber configurations: flat horizontal, flat vertical, tubular, and defocused tubular absorber with a vertical fin. The effect of normally distributed mirror surface slope errors on the concentration characteristics of the concentrator is also investigated.
