Solar One, located near Barstow, CA, was the first large-scale (10 MW electric) solar- thermal electric-power-generating plant in the United States. A schematic diagram of the plant is shown below. The receiver may be treated as a cylinder 7 m in diameter and 13.5-m-tall. At the design operating conditions, the average outer surface temperature of the receiver is about 675°C and ambient air temperature is about 40°C. Estimate the rate of heat loss, in MW, from the receiver—via natural convection only—for the temperatures given. What are other mechanisms by which heat may be lost from the receiver?
