A Simple Model for Predicting the Flux Distribution through the Focal Plane of a Multifaceted-Concentrator Solar Furnace.

Abstract

A model of the flux distribution at the focus of a multi-faceted concentrator is presented and compared with the observed performance of a real research furnance. Originator-supplied keywords include: Solar furnances, Solar concentrators, and Solar flux distribution.
