Simulations of a Single-Phase Flow in a Compound Parabolic Concentrator Reactor

<div>(a) Simulation domain established to implement the tracer simulation. The marked distances (<i>L</i> = 50 cm, <i>L</i> = 100 cm, <i>L</i> = 117 cm, <i>L</i> = 150 cm, and <i>L</i> = 170 cm) represent the regions where velocity profiles were taken at <i>z</i> = 0 cm in the center of the tube. (b) Inset of the mesh employed in the simulations.</div>
