Summary: This paper investigates the influence of wind direction and speed on the performance of a solar cavity receiver. The results show that wind direction and speed have a significant impact on heat losses, particularly at different inclinations. In most cases, head-on wind results in higher convection heat loss compared to other wind directions.

Summary: This study investigated the combined convective loss of a bicylindrical cavity receiver under different wind directions, speeds, and cavity tilt angles using response surface methodology. The results showed that wind direction had a greater impact on the combined Nusselt number compared to cavity tilt angle. The head-on wind direction resulted in higher combined convective loss for all wind speeds and cavity tilt angles. Wind speed significantly affected the combined Nusselt number at higher cavity tilt angles for back-on and side-on winds, with a diminishing effect at lower tilt angles. Increasing the cavity tilt angle led to a greater change in the combined Nusselt number as wind speed increased. A quadratic model was developed to predict the combined Nusselt number, which showed reasonable agreement with experimental values with a deviation of up to 12.5%.

Summary: A novel flat surface receiver with square cross-sectioned tubular fins is introduced to improve the thermal performance of a parabolic dish collector. Real-time investigation shows that with increasing water flow rate, the maximum temperature difference decreases and the time of water boiling is delayed. The receiver achieves high thermal and exergy efficiencies and has a lower cost per kWh of useful energy compared to coal power plants.
