In this paper, 3-D numerical analysis of the porous disc line receiver for solar parabolic trough collector is presented. The influence of thermic fluid properties, receiver design and solar radiation concentration on overall heat collection is investigated. The analysis is carried out based on renormalization-group (RNG) k-epsilon turbulent model by using Therminol-VP1 as working fluid. The thermal analysis of the receiver is carried out for various geometrical parameters such as angle (0), orientation, height of the disc (H) and distance between the discs (w) and for different heat flux conditions. The receiver showed better heat transfer characteristics: the top porous disc configuration having w = d(i), H = 0.5d(i) and 0 = 30 degrees. The heat transfer characteristic enhances about 64.3% in terms of Nusselt number with a pressure drop of 457 Pa against the tubular receiver. The use of porous medium in tubular solar receiver enhances the system performance significantly. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
