Abstract
The solar collector with optimal profile for energy distribution on a tubular receiver collects and distributes solar energy. Solar energy received from the sun can be modified by either being re-directed (reflection) or being redistributed. In the present invention energy is reflected and redistributed in a manner that yields a required energy variation over a surface. The receiver is a cylinder of known length and diameter. Longitudinal distribution of energy is specified by a user defined function. Circumferential distribution is assumed to be constant. Energy distribution is required to vary along the z axis of the receiver but remain constant in the circumferential direction. An axi-symmetric approach is used in which only one plane of the receiver in r and Z plane is considered. A geometric solution determines a reflecting surface that gives a required energy distribution along the z-axis. A complete reflector is designed by expanding the axi-symmetric behavior.
