- Abstract
The central tower solar receiver system is comprised of a number of small tracing mirrors that focus the beam radiation onto a huge tower in the centre. The tracing mirrors are placed as well as adjusted in such a manner that the light is always reflected at the top of the tower. The major goal of this study is to carry out a mathematical assessment of the central tower solar receiver where solar load calculation and heat transfer analysis has been carried out. Solar load is calculated for the location of Pune, India. Mathematical modelling is performed for the solar central receiver system Results of the mathematical modelling reveal that the estimated average sunshine hour for the year ranges from 10.9 hours in the month of December to 12.9 hours in the month of July. The maximum incident beam radiation of 1050.9 w/m2 has been estimated in the month of April at 1200 hour. After computing the variables, the matrix equation can be generated and the system can calculate the energy under the first-order differential equation. The system's thermal efficiency can be computed once the maximum temperature of the heat transfer fluid, ambient air as well as copper tube is known.
