Ideal second stages in tandem with parabolic concentrators

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Expressions for the concentration capability of parabolic reflectors are derived and extended to include additional ideal second-stage concentration. The ultimate concentration of a parabolic reflector (primary) alone is shown to achieve one-half of the ideal limit in 2-D geometry; the respective two-stage configuration is shown to approach the ideal limit itself at large f/Nos.
