Due to the operating temperature from 900 K to 1300 K produced by the concentrating ratio over 2000 in solar parabolic dish-engine system, the natural convection heat loss driven by the buoyancy force of air contributes an important role in the energy loss of cavity receiver. 3-D numerical...

The technology of concentrating solar power (CSP) is a potential way to meet the increasing demand of electricity consumption and environmental sustainability. However, it is still difficult to determine the installed locations of CSP systems, electricity generation by the systems, and the cost...
