For cavities or flat plates, the following must be defined:<br />

NUMCAV<br />

Number of apertures in cavity receiver or number of flat<br />

plate receivers.<br />

Constraint: NUMCAV 5 4<br />

Default: NUMCAV = 1 (1I.E)<br />

RELV( I)<br />

RAZM(1)<br />

RY "4II I<br />

(I= 1 ,NUMCAV)<br />

RWCAV(1)<br />

(I=l ,NUMCAV)<br />

188<br />

Orientation of i vector; i.e., outward normal of<br />

surface stretched across the aperture or flat plate<br />

receiver. For the Ith (I=l, NUMCAV) aperture, RELV(1) is<br />

the polar angle, Or, and RAZM(1) the azimuthal angle pr,<br />

both in degrees (see Figure 11-1 in main text).<br />

RELV(1) =<br />

90.0" Vertical<br />

> 90.0" Down facing<br />

( 0.0" South facing<br />

90.0" West facing<br />

RAZM(l) = I 180.0" North facing<br />

270.0" East facing<br />

Constraint: RAZM(1) < 360. Angles must be in order<br />

clockwise.<br />

Default: RELV = 4"90.0(")<br />

RAZM = 180., 270., O., 90. (") (1I.E)<br />

Dimensions, in meters, of Ith cavity aperture or flat<br />

plate receiver. RX(1) is the horizontal dimension, and<br />

RY (I) perpendicular to RX( I).<br />

Default: RX = 4'6.0 (m)<br />

RY = 4'6.0 (m)<br />

(11. E,IV .C-3)<br />

Ratio of the radius of the vertical cylindrical heat<br />

absorbing surface centered on the Ith aperture to the<br />

radius, W/2, of the receiver. This option is used only with<br />

cavity receivers and allows the cavities to have different<br />

depths. The greater RWCAV the larger the heat exchanger<br />

surface within the cavity and the lower the peak flux.<br />

Default: RWCAV = 4'1.0 (1I.E)
