Numerical modeling of the flow dynamics and heat exchange in the tube receiver of a solar parabolic trough module (PTM) has been performed. The study is based on a dimensionless mathematical model that describes turbulent conduction of heat and momentum. An analysis has been carried out and a turbulence model has been selected. The proposed model describes the features of heat exchange near the wall...
