“…It was found that the effect of heliostat size/facet size has a notable effect on the flux distribution along a spike [2]. As the spike tip points towards the solar field it experiences the highest flux.…”

“…Due to the geometry of the spike tip a strong cooling effect of the impinging air stream onto the tip surface (end cap in Figure 2) -as it changes the flow direction by 180 • -is envisaged. The heat transfer model introduced in [2] describes the internal heat transfer within a spike. In the model the spike tip is treated as a black box requiring an averaged Nusselt number (Nu) and flux input.…”

“…This configuration of cool tips, hot interiors is common to a range of high-efficiency receiver concepts, including this ANU/Sandia concept [2] (lateral tubes), the NREL concept [4] (longitudinal tubes) as well as the 'pyramid' receiver of Garbrecht et al [10] and the spiky 'SCRAP' receiver of Lubkoll et al [11], and is also the object of the 'volumetric effect' sought after for open air receivers, where flow also takes a longitudinal path, and where outer surfaces are expected to have lower temperatures than the inner surfaces, yielding lower radiative heat loss [12,13]. …”
