Computer aided design of a receiver using the heat energy analysis program

OSTI ID:5745501
The Heat Energy Analysis Program (HEAP) was used to model the steady state operation of various different receivers for use in line-focusing solar collectors. One of the receivers modeled was used in a trough-shaped collector which was tested at Sandia National Laboratory. An attempt is made here to show that the results of the HEAP calculations for this receiver are consistent with those which were experimentally found. Afterwards, the results of HEAP analyses for other receiver configurations is presented.
