Abstract

This article explains a technique in which equations are developed to produce the irradiance profile around the receiver of LS2 collector using a vigorouslyverified MCRT model. A large range of test conditions including daily normal insolation, selective coatings and glass envelop conditions were chosen from the published data by Dudley et al. [1] for the job. The R2value is excellent that varies between 0.9857 and 0.9999. Therefore, these equations can be used confidently to produce boundary heat flux profile of the collector at normal incident for conjugate heat transfer analyses of the receiver.
