In the central receiver concept of solar energy collection, a large number of heliostats (reflectors) provide a concentrated solar flux of q s " = 80 , 000 W/m 2 to the receiver, which is positioned at the top of a tower. The receiver wall is exposed to the solar flux at its outer surface and to atmospheric air for which T ∞ , o = 300 K and h o = 25 W/m 2 ⋅ K . The outer sur- face is opaque and diffuse, with a spectral absorptivity of α λ = 0.9 for λ <3 μ m α λ = 0.2 for λ > 3 μ m . The inner surface is exposed to a working fluid (a pressurized liquid) for which T ∞ , i = 700 K and h i = 1000 W/m 2 ⋅ K . The outer surface is also exposed to surroundings for which T s u r = 300 K . If the wall is fabricated from a high-temperature material for which K=15W/m ⋅ K ,what is the minimum thickness L needed to ensure that the outer surface temperature does not exceed T s , o = 1000 K ? What is the collection efficiency associated with this thickness?
