A novel computational approach to combine the optical and thermal modelling of Linear Fresnel Collectors using the finite volume method
•A finite volume (FV) method combining optical and thermal modelling is presented.•The finite volume optical solution compares well with ray-tracing results.•An approach is developed that solves 2-D ray tracing and then 3-D heat transfer.•The sequential approach is validated by comparison with an ex...
