Receiver is an important part of CSP (concentrated solar power) system which is having high radiation absorption capacity and low thermal losses for all thermodynamics process. One of the main goals of solar technology research is the study of existing receivers and development of new designs of receiver to minimize the losses. Development of di fferent configuration of cavi ty- recei ver fr om last decade ’s increases scope of unique challenges and to get optimal solutions associated wi th high-temperature receivers, materials, heat -transfer fluids, and processes that maximize solar irradiance and absorptance. This study also deals with important basic cases of volumetric and tubular receiver which helps to further development CSP technology. Cavity-receiver of di fferent configuration helps to analyze CSP and thermodynamic performance. The study also focuses over the various heat transfers fluids on the basis of thei r thermodynamic properties applicable for particular receiver.
