    Abstract

    By using a two-stage optimisation process we maximise the heat rate output of afour-parameter axisymmetric direct steam generation cavity receiver. The model includes radiative and hydrodynamic considerations. We show that a significant range of geometrical shapes show similar efficiencies while having different wall flux and temperature profiles.
