Geometric Optical Losses -- Chapter 6. Receiver Secondary Reflector -- Chapter 7. Design Parameters -- Chapter 8. Case Study – Fresnel Reflectors Solar Cookers -- Chapter 9. Short Introduction to MATLAB® -- Chapter 10. Applications.This book offers a complete guide to designing Linear Fresnel Reflector Systems for concentrating solar radiation. It includes theoretical analyses, computational tools and mathematical formulae to facilitate the development, design, construction and application of these systems. In addition, the book presents a concise yet thorough treatment of the theory behind these systems, and provides useful and efficient calculation procedures that can be used to model and develop their practical applications. Along with the theoretical analyses provided in the book, the physical background is explained using mathematical formulae, illustrations, graphs and tables. Methods are presented for solving the non-linear mathematical systems that describe a significant variety of cases. In addition, MATLAB codes are supplied (both in the text and online). Consequently, readers interested in applying the methodology presented here will have all the source codes at hand, allowing them to easily expand on them by introducing appropriate modifications for their respective design configuration. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to engineers and researchers, who can use their scientific background to help them develop more energy-efficient Linear Fresnel Reflector systems. It will also appeal to students studying these systems for the first time, as it supplies a comprehensive overview of their theoretical analysis and applications. .Renewable energy resourcesComputer scienceMathematicsMicrowavesOptical engineeringLasersPhotonicsRenewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Computational Science and Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14026Microwaves, RF and Optical Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Renewable energy resources.Computer scienceMathematics.Microwaves.Optical engineering.Lasers.Photonics.Renewable and Green Energy.Computational Science and Engineering.Microwaves, RF and Optical Engineering.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.551.5271Karathanasis Stavrosauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut968460BOOK9910337590703321Linear Fresnel Reflector Systems for Solar Radiation Concentration2199660UNINA
