Abstract: This paper aims at predicting radiation characteristics of the solar collector system by the Monte Carlo method with respect to the corresponding optical properties. Several probability models ...

Abstract: Radiative transfer in absorbing, emitting, and highly anisotropically scattering media is widely encountered in high temperature applications such as pulverized coal firing furnaces and high ...

Abstract: This work presents a numerical study on transmission performance of ellipsoidal windows used in receivers under concentrated solar irradiation. The Monte Carlo ray tracing method is used to analyze the transmission of ...
