Curvature-Constrained Geometric Optimization of Solar Thermal Collectors Via Rayleigh–Ritz Variational Design
Robinson José García Gavilánez, Karen Lisbeth Betancourt Ludeña, Carlos Miguel Garzón Cárdenas & Luis Antonio Caicedo Hinojosa · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2025
The geometric configuration of solar thermal collectors plays a critical role in determining their energy absorption capacity, optical efficiency, and structural feasibility. While traditional designs rely on fixed geometries such as flat plates or parabolic troughs, these do not...
