Abstract: A theoretical model is developed for a low-capacity steam-generating system consisting of a linear parabolic concentrator and a receiver placed at the focal plane of the concentrator. The variation of the fluid temperature has been studied along the receiver length for different values of the solar concentration ratio. Variations have also been determined of the rate of steam production for different receiver lengths, with and without wind effects, at various solar concentration ratios. Numerical calculations are discussed.
