Influence of circumferential solar heat flux distribution on the heat transfer coefficients of linear Fresnel collector absorber tubes

Okafor, Izuchukwu F.; Dirker, Jaco; Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2014-09)

The absorber tubes of solar thermal collectors have enormous influence on the performance of the solar collector systems. In this numerical study, the influence of circumferential uniform and non-uniform solar heat flux ...
Influence of non-uniform heat flux distributions on the secondary flow, convective heat transfer and friction factors for a parabolic trough solar collector type absorber tube

Okafor, Izuchukwu F.; Dirker, Jaco; Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2017-08)

Non-uniform heat flux profiles on circular tubes are found in a number of heat transfer applications, including solar heating. In this numerical study the influence of the circumferential angle spans of non-uniform heat ...
