Abstract
The aerohydrodynamic and heat exchange characteristics in the cylindrical heat receiver of a solar cylindrical parabolic concentrating module are investigated. The mathematical model is based on the Navier- Stokes equation system for a laminar flow in a channel. The model is implemented using the control volume method. The created computer algorithm allows carrying out parametric studies and revealing the most rational geometric, dynamic, and power parameters of the process. The proposed model describes the general physical outlines of the heat exchange in a cylindrical heat receiver which allows estimating the influence of the environment—wind velocity, ambient temperature, etc.—on it.
