Problem Formulation The receiver concept in Figure 1 may be thought of either as a rodded structure (as in the SSF design), or as a continuous cylinder with cross sectional area A and perimeter nDb. For the present analysis, we consider radially lumped temperatures, axial conduction, and radial radiative surface losses to the environment. Because these losses are small by design, radial temperature gradients are also small, justifying the
