The simulation of pressure waves in inlet and exhaust manifolds of internal combustion engines remains challenging. In this paper, a new model is presented in order to analyze these pressures waves without the use of a one-dimensional description of the system. It consists on studying the system...

A novel linear Fresnel reflector which employs the evacuated tube, CPC secondary reflector, and uses molten salt as the heat transfer fluid (HTF) was designed and studied in this paper. A 3D optical model was developed to simulate the radiation transmission within the system with Monte Carlo Ray...
