The receiver of solar power plants is modeled as a semiinfinite vertical cylinder. The analysis is carried out to investigate the convective heat loss. Constant surface temperature is selected as the idealized condition for the receiver. Heat loss from the receiver is due to the combined mode of the free convection and the forced convection. The problem is studied under the condition that a steady horizontal breeze passes the receiver. The forced convection is treated as a perturbed effect. The solution shows that the free convection dominates the heat loss along the bottom of the cylinder.
