Computer simulation of the optical properties of high-temperature cermet solar selective coatings

Acomputer simulation is developed to calculate the solar absorptance and thermal emittance of various configurations of cermet solar selective coatings. Special attention has been paid to those material combinations, which are commonly used in high-temperature solar thermal applications. Moreover, o...
