This article describes the development of a numerical model that can consider variations in the concentration profile along the flow direction; not doing so can result in overestimation of the power generation capability. The developed model was used for studying the transport phenomena in a...

In this paper, the chimney is assembled with porous absorber for the indirect-mode solar dryer. Local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) exists in the porous absorber, so the double energy equations and Brinkman–Forchheimer extended Darcy model are employed to analyze the heat transfer and flow in...

The numerical and experimental studies are conducted to analyze the heat loss in the cavity absorbers of linear Fresnel reflecting solar concentrator (LFRSC). The cavity is trapezoidal shape in cross section, which is placed at focus of the concentrator, has multiple tubes and water is used as...

This paper provides a general framework for the quantitative analysis of stochastic dynamic models. We review the convergence properties of some numerical algorithms and available methods to bound approximation errors. We then address the convergence and accuracy properties of the simulated...

We survey numerical methods that are tractable in dynamic economic models with a finite, large number of continuous state variables. (Examples of such models are new Keynesian models, life-cycle models, heterogeneous-agents models, asset-pricing models, multisector models, multicountry models,...
