Abstract
This article presents a closed form analytical solution to estimate solar receiver surface and fluid temperatures. An approximation and its domain of validity (in term of the value of a small parameter) are also proposed. These simple models are then applied to a large and a small cylindrical cavity. Finally, the model is applied to an experimental hemispherical coiled cavity.
