Hundemann, A S

Government-funded research on the design and operation of various types of solar energy concentrators is discussed. Abstracts cover the efficiency and optimization of Fresnel lenses, V-trough concentrators, flat plate and parabolic reflectors, compound parabolic concentrators used in solar photovoltaic conversion, and heliostat systems. A few abstracts deal with heat loss and cost studies. (Contains 97 abstracts)
