title = "Analytical methods to evaluate flux distributions from point-focus collectors for solar furnace and dish engine applications",
abstract = "This paper introduces a new analytical {"}stretch{"} function that accurately predicts the flux distribution from on-axis point-focus collectors. Different dish sizes and slope errors can be assessed using this analytical function with a ratio of the focal length to collector diameter fixed at 0.6 to yield the maximum concentration ratio. Results are compared to data, and the stretch function is shown to provide more accurate flux distributions than other analytical methods employing cone optics.",
