Abstract:
      The solar energy volumetric absorber consists of pin fin array, in which the flow phenomena is very complicated. This paper describes the details of numerical calculation process included that the convective heat transfer form the pin fin array and the pressure drop in the absorber. The result has a good agreement with the experimental data.
