Design and Optimization of Elliptical Cavity Tube Receivers in the Parabolic Trough Solar Collector

The nonfragile cavity receiver is of high significance to the solar parabolic trough collector (PTC). In the present study, light distributions in the cavity under different tracking error angles and PTC configurations are analyzed. A new elliptical cavity geometry is proposed and analyzed. It is ob...
